Prior to the RedHat "acquisition" how was CentOS getting RHEL source? How would the "Rocky Linux" CentOS fork go about doing the same thing?

I've heard time and again that RedHat will terminate a subscriber's contract if the subscriber is caught distributing RHEL source or binaries to discourage further distribution. Detecting such redistribution seems difficult to me, but setting that aside and assuming it's true, how does a project like CentOS or Rocky Linux get RHEL sources in a sustainable manner?
