BTW, Les said nobody developed extra things for RHEL, which is not true. Just look a Dag and Dries rpms repository. Those are "newer desktop apps into the stable kernel/libs from RHEL" as was quoted.


If it wasn't clear, what I meant was that no one takes the complete existing RHEL work and adds things to improve it, redistributing the entire bundle. That may not match anyone else's definition of 'open', but it is what affects the products you'll be able to use in the future.

Sure they do.  CentOS does, in fact.

No, they are required to remove things. And they claim it is a non-trivial amount of work to comply.

Look at CentOS Extras, CentOS Plus, CentOS Cluster Suite/Global File System. Look at Scientific Linux customizations https://www.scientificlinux.org/about/customize.

And White Box, now gone because it was not practical to maintain...
