Agreed. Red Hat is simply doing what grsecurity did in 2017. It is legal and does not violate any license.

One big difference is that the sources are still provided. Only the "tagging" when a release happens is not.

Yes, it was controversial in 2017, but the dust settled and in six years since it was generally accepted to be legal. My point is that Red Hat is not trying something new. There are precedents and it is an explored territory.
