And they've just posted the article about how they plan to get the sources without violating the RH ToS:

> Another method that we will leverage is pay-per-use public cloud instances. With this, anyone can spin up RHEL images in the cloud and thus obtain the source code for all packages and errata

How does this approach not require them to agree to the ToS/EULA mentioned earlier in the post?

they themselves never created an account in red hat site, that would require then to accept either the ToS or the EULA..

They spined up an VM in some service that started an red hat image with the required license already in place for that image..

it is the vm provider that is bound by the EULA, not RockyLinux..

They are bound by the ToS for the VM provider they are using, that does not prevent them to get the sources from Red Hat..
