    People who think they need an enterprise distribution, and students who pay for Linux certification.

    Nah, that's paying for support and the lack of need to compile your entire OS from scratch (you can compile RedHat from scratch for free).

    Besides, it's good to support the developers!

    Nah, you can still build it from source code. The only thing they stopped doing was automatically building debranded versions of their binary packages for third party distros to use. From this article:

    There is CentOS Stream the binary deliverable, and CentOS Stream the source repository. The CentOS Stream gitlab source is where we build RHEL releases, in the open for all to see. To call RHEL “closed source” is categorically untrue and inaccurate. CentOS Stream moves faster than RHEL, so it might not be on HEAD, but the code is there. If you can’t find it, it’s a bug – please let us know.

    It's still a rather shitty move, and I don't think this guy fully understands why there's so much of a sense of betrayal (in my own case, I took Linux classes at school where we were taught using CentOS 5.something.. And since it was a community college, they would never have authorized buying actual RHEL licenses for all the students to install on virtual machines just to learn how to configure Apache and PHP in a RHEL-like environment).. But you can still build the official RHEL from source code.

    All that said, I'm a Debian guy myself.
