CentOS? A usable downstream distribution?

And why does it matter, anyway? The GPL exists for a reason and RedHat knew what they were getting themselves into.

It's just so stupid people are gonna have to jump silly hoops to get the source code.

Really? Some images, bug reports, and internal build tools. What new software or features have Rocky contributed to the community they can't keep talking about? I side with RH here because I personally, every day, use a lot of software they've made available. That takes time, effort, and money. Heck, you personally benefit immensely from an acquisition they subsequently open sourced. When Rocky has something that's anywhere near this [0] let me know.

lolwut?

Are you saying you don't have any material on AWX?

That video has earned me a grand total of $500. And most of that earning happened a couple years ago. I have never run AWX for any of my own projects (or deployed it for any clients), so I have not materially benefitted from it in that way either.

I can guarantee you that video and my short chapter on AWX in my book have earned Red Hat many, many multiples of that through companies adopting an AAP subscription.

I also literally built the AWX Operator that Red Hat is still maintaining to this day: https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/graphs/contributors

Sorry about that. I should have tried to keep the conversation level higher instead of playing with the time zone difference.
