They can choose to not do business with RockyLinux and then there's no obligation to share the code with them.

    I'm curious if that's actually true. Refusing to let them specifically buy it, because RH knows they want to re-distribute it, is almost like an implicit extra condition that customers aren't allowed to re-distribute, which is explicitly a violation of the terms of the GPL. Though, of course leaving that term unstated would make it hard to prove.
