Point taken.

From my perspective, it seems like a short-sighted approach to rely on loopholes to obtain bug-for-bug compatibility. I know I wouldn't be comfortable running anything production-grade on Rocky Linux with their current approach.

I believe if Red Hat had legal grounds to sue Rocky, they would have done so already. And there's no possible way for RH to obfuscate their sources so Rocky will continue releasing an exact RHEL clone unless Red Hat sunsets RHEL.
