Okay this answers the first question thanks.

Regarding the second question, fair enough, you are allowed to redistribute the source code. However, there is no legal obligation for Red Hat to distribute the source code to you for non-GPL binaries. So, what happens if you cannot obtain the source code of the Red Hat binaries (non-GPL) via your RHEL cloud instance workaround? Essentially, Rocky relies on an RHEL cloud instances workaround to fetch sources that could stop working (for non-GPL) at any time. Not such a bright and shiny future, if you ask me.
