That is not "open", it is just free as in beer, for a restricted subset of
people. If you are not (explicitly! Not just "try and hope we do not
terminate your subscription at our whim") entitled to share the SRPMs, it is
NOT open.

If it were, Red Hat would offer it as a supported alternative to their
commercial subscription users. They do not, obviously for a reason. A beta
branch is not a production release.
