Alma is actually doing the correct thing. Alma seems to be about the only group that realized what Red Hat is doing. Alma is now going to be based on CentOS Stream and will no longer be "bug by bug" compatible with RHEL. Instead they will, like CentOS Stream, be ABI compatible with RHEL. Not only are they going to do that, but they're actually adding to CentOS Stream to meet their customer's needs and contributing back to the community project. Kudos to them for making the community stronger.
Rocky does not do that. Rocky hired sales people away from Red Hat, then started poaching RHEL customers by offering support at 20-30% of the cost. A savings they can afford because they're not putting in the engineering effort. They were taking all the work Red Hat put in, stealing their customers, and contributing nothing back. Rocky is now talking about using gray areas of legality to try and get source rpms from the UBI images and from cloud instances. They essentially want to rent a cloud instance on AWS, clone the entire srpm repo for export, then destroy the instance.
