    If we’re going about what’s technically permitted, then RedHat is also permitted to change licence, close it down and stop any new versions from being open or free. All their development goes into the upstream so I don’t even know what Oracle is trying to say here. Except “we want open access to RHEL, not just upstream sources like CentOS”.

      No they aren’t. Not unless they remove all the GPL code from their software.

      It’s the entire purpose of the GPL. You can never own derivative code.
