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.

Great perspective on what Red Hat is doing with a couple historical incidents where they were violating the GPL. And at the end of the piece notice they refused to let the Software Freedom Conservancy review sales materials to make sure they were in compliance and not misleading customers. A typical megacorp with profits over ethics.
