You have misunderstood.

If Alma or Rocky or YourPersonalRebuildProject wishes to use this 
offering, that's one of the covered use cases. If your reading of the 
various articles implies differently, then I'm sure we can work to 
clarify that.

Your later quote:

Feb 3rd from Red Hat's Bex:
"... if that project has the goal of producing a Linux distribution ... 
don't use Red Hat Subscription Services to create or support your project."

... does not contradict this, as it refers to obtaining SOURCE from 
subscription services. That has not changed with this new offering.
