How about everyone chip in so that Rocky/Alma can get a subscription to RHEL and get the source that way? The GPL does not say they have to publish the code in the wild just that they have to provide it when they distribute. There are many companies that use OSS, make modifications, and since they never distribute are not required to make that source available.

We could make a big list of people that are ready to buy a subscription. Everytime RHEL has an update:

* A subscription is purchased * Download all the source rpm's. * Put them on the internet * RH terminates the license and the purchaser is put on a list * goto next person on list and repeat.

A few thousand people would keep this going.
