Not to go too far down this rabbit hole, but as a
long-time-away-from-Red-Hat user my (possibly quite outdated)
experience was that RHEL included some non-free/proprietary software
distributed alongside other free-as-in-speech software. If this is
still true, it would be a significant mischaracterization to claim
that the "source code" for RHEL as a whole is consistently free. If
_all_ software provided by RHEL is also now included under free and
open licenses, then I'm thrilled and may be more inclined to give it
a try again in the future.
