I’m curious about what you think on how it will affect the Linux community and distros (especially RHEL based distros like Fedora or Rocky).

    Very true for the GPL code, but Red Hat adds code that isn’t GPL to the distro. So your downstream distros would have to cherry pick that code out.

      If the code they’re adding isn’t protected by GPL they no have obligation to release it at all, and with these changes they probably won’t.
