My impression from being somewhat involved in the (early) communities of Rocky and Alma, is that the Rocky people are quite a bit looser with violating EULAs, ToS, etc. Sometimes that is the superior approach, but with something like RHEL rebuilt it makes me nervous. Alma by contrast are very professional. Rocky also has an antagonistic view toward Red Hat, while Alma views Red Hat as partners. People can hate on Red Hat, but without them none of the rebuilds would even be possible. There's still a lot that Red Hat could do to kill them if they wanted to.

Anyway my main point, I'm not worried about Alma getting wiped out, or about them making a bad decision that ends them in legal hot water and jeopardizes the project.

Agree, Alma's response has been way less hacky.
Interesting... Thanks for the info, both of you, will have to take a look
