>So CentOS and Elastic aren't open source anymore.
CentOS is still open source. Nothing is happening to the sources themselves. It's the work of taking those sources, stripping trademarks, building artifacts and distributing them as a near identical-clone of RHEL which is ending. Or at least, Red Hat doing that work at their own expense is ending.
"Rocky" and "Alma" linux are picking up that work themselves, nothing prevents that from happening.
