The only differences is that it won’t be available in one location for freeloading for-profit company to simply copy and paste.
They’ll have to go to the various repositories and integrate the updates and compatibility issues themselves.
Again, it’s all still available open source code. But RHEL will stop publicly organizing all of it in manor that allows companies like Alma and Rocky to skate by without doing any work and no longer able to undercut RHEL with “bug for bug” clones.

Imagine RHEL is a puzzle of 10,000 FOSS packages.
Those 10,000 packages can be ordered and configured in a variety of ways, of which RHEL is one.
The 10,000 packages are all still released, per GPL.
What’s different is that RHEL is not making freely available the SPECIFIC ORDER their puzzle is put together in.
BUT all puzzle pieces are still made freely available by RHEL.
Or do you believe there is nothing wrong with how Rocky Linux operates it’s for-profit business model?
