Every user of Rocky Linux is important to us, whether they are software engineers, IT professionals, or hobbyists. We believe in the power of the open source community and that open source software should be accessible to all. The Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation was established with this vision in mind, focusing on reproducibility, transparency, and preventing any one company from controlling the project. While Red Hat has expressed a different perspective, limiting access to RHEL sources, we refuse to agree with their terms and will obtain the source code through alternative methods such as UBI container images and pay-per-use public cloud instances. We are committed to advancing Rocky Linux and serving the open source community.
