“The Software Conservancy analysis summarized the conundrum as a pick-your-poison scenario: “In essence, Red Hat requires their customers to choose between (a) their software freedom and rights, and (b) remaining a Red Hat customer.” End-users are allowed to exercise their right to redistribute the code but if they do, they face the consequence of Red Hat canceling their subscription and being cut off from future versions of the software and Red Hat services.”

This is the key issue imo. How can you be in compliance with “..if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have.”
… if you make non-redistribution a requirement to even get access to begin with..?
I’m sure I’m misunderstanding though at some level
