if that is really the case (I think it could well be), the business decision of RedHat maybe makes perfect sense. 

Some other distribution will step in for CentOS Linux. Rocky, Lenix, Springsdale, whatever. That distribution/s will take the role of CentOS in paving the path for RHEL without RedHat having to paying for it.

Sounds like a win/win-Situation, doesn't it?
