Investment reinforces SUSE’s commitment to innovate and support SUSE Linux Enterprise distributions and related open source projects
SUSE plans to contribute its code to an open source foundation
So what will SUSE’s plan be for the SUSE fork to maintain compatibility going forward - won’t they have the same problems accessing RHEL source code as Rocky and Alma to maintain compatibility?
The source code will still be available, the GPL2 still applies. As far as I understand, RedHat will publish the upstream code that will eventually end up in RHEL. This article can explain it better than I can: https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/23/red_hat_centos_move/
