    but there is no potential for some Joe on the street to get sued for looking at their source code.

    But how would that Joe look at the source code if it not publicly available and he’s not a paying customer?

    Checkmate.

      If Joe hasn’t been provided the binaries from RedHat they’re under no obligation to provide the sources.

      And the true sources can easily be obtained from the upstream, same place every other distro provider get’s them.
