From now on, only CentOS Stream's source code is available to all

A superficially modest blog post from a senior Hatter announces that going forward, the company will only publish the source code of its CentOS Stream product to the world. In other words, only paying customers will be able to obtain the source code to Red Hat Enterprise Linux… And under the terms of their contracts with the Hat, that means that they can’t publish it.

Got it.

I don’t see how that could comply with the terms of the GPL.

I don’t think all the code there is GPL. A lot of it is MIT, BSD, Apache, etc.
