This article was originally published primarily as a response
to IBM's
Red Hat's change to no longer publish complete, corresponding source
(CCS) for RHEL and the
prior discontinuation of CentOS Linux (which are related events, as
described below). We hope that this will serve as a comprehensive
document that discusses the history of Red Hat's RHEL business model,
the related source code provisioning, and the GPL compliance issues with RHEL.
