That sounds like a giant GPL violation if sources are provided under the condition that you don’t use them.
Legally they must provide source to anyone they provide binaries to.
Shouldn’t affect them much, it just means they’ll need a single RHEL subscription.
I strongly disagree with this decision – as lemmy progresses and stabilizes, open registrations will become normal and just blocking open instances will not be a viable solution.
I can’t say if this is just a need for better mod tooling or a fundamental problem with federation, but it’s certainly concerning.
Looks like the update script is still running.
