    am considering creating another rebuild of RHEL and may even be
    able to hire some people for this effort. If you are interested in
    helping, please join the HPCng slack (link on the website

Has Redhat changed anything in RHEL8 to prevent another CentOS from sprouting?

No, and due to most of the software included in RHEL being under the GPL licenses, it's almost impossible for them to prevent it, since the GPL requires RH to make the source code available. If they really wanted to stick to anyone attempting another CentOS, I suppose they could not release the source code in SRPM form, but I doubt they'd do that.

I wouldn't be surprised if this causes Scientific Linux to come back into existence.
