Image mode for Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a new deployment method that takes a container-native approach to deliver the OS as a bootc container image.
I don’t like the way they handle access to it, but yes it is largely made up of GPL code, is regularly redestributed and modified, see Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux.
I always think its icky when companies advertise open source projects in their propriety closed source one.
bootc is a RH open source project…
And RHEL is hardly closed source.
RedHat source is accessible to registered red hat users. That is NOT open source. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/furthering-evolution-centos-stream

Agreed 100%. So it’s good that that’s not what they’re doing.
