Several sites have been covering IBM's change to the workflow and
licensing concerning RHEL and management of the relevant source code.
I'll point to Jeff Geerling's blog about that since he has already
adapted his own work flow accordingly:

But there are many others already.

Perhaps a statement is already being drafted by the FSF, if not then it
is time to begin.  I realize it takes time to formulate a thoughtful, on
target, diplomatic response to such a move as IBM has taken, but as
stewards of the GPL, the FSF probably ought to speak up sometime soon
before other voices exploit the silence to the detriment of Software
Freedom.
