We publish all code and scripts we use for such stuff - and if users want to, they have access to this - to use and deploy within the GPL framework. What we do expect is that users who make this effort contribute back to the community rather than just sponging ( is there such a word ? ) off it.
Karanbir, the word is 'freeloading.'
But you have to admit that there would be something amusingly ironic about the Centos project opposing distribution rebuilds...
I have no problem with rebuilds if they are open source and they don't claim to be CentOS.
You surely don't see PNAELV telling us how to create a distro ... or the people at debian helping the ubuntu guys ... or gentoo guys helping VLOS.
Not offering to help is understandable though.
That is the point ... why would we help create a competing distro?

I think John's spirit and information was exactly what he was doing - helping others create competing distributions based upon RHEL.
Why would you want to do that? I don't know, and I suppose that by reading the above, it seems clear that you aren't inclined to do so.
