How are you downloading RHEL ISO images?
I already sent you the URL in a prior response: https://developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/download
Please do not tell me to take a deep breath and relax. Show some respect.
I am being respectful, I've been trying to explain to you that this isn't anything to get stressed out over. I've calmly addressed the questions you've raised. What you are worried about is not possible because of the legal requirements of the GPL which Red Hat has accepted by using GPL licensed code.
You're stressing out over a non issue... you dont need to stress over this... aka... you can relax... it's going to be ok.
If me addressing your concerns and telling you that you dont need to worry is disrespectful... well... I'm sorry that you think I'm being disrespectful. I'm trying to make you feel better by explaining that you dont need to be worried.

You can download ISOs without a dev account. Someone could easily get
the SRPMS as they are
entitled to have and compile them and make a 3rd party repo that
everyone could add and update
from, so people wouldn't have to re-install. My point is that Red Hat
is not able to lock down
the code because of the GPL. There will always be a way around anything
they try to put in
place.
People in the FLOSS world really care about this stuff and are also
really stubborn... if Red Hat
tries to do anything like this, there will be thousands of people that
will come together to work
around everything Red Hat attempts to put in place to block people.
Don't worry, take a deep breath and relax, the code will remain open
source and it will remain
freely available.

Correct. Per the GPL if you have the binary you have a legal right
to the code.
Also the GPL does contain clauses that stipulate that outside
agreements cannot excuse anyone
from the conditions of the license, see the No Surrender of Others'
Freedom section.
Also keep in mind that you can download the RHEL ISOs for free
without a dev license from
this
page: https://developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/download You
can't update the packages,
but
you can install that version of RHEL on your computer and use it.
So anyone grabbing that
ISO
has legal right to the source code for the base system.
