RHEL clones like centos, rocky, and alma were (are?) really popular Debian/Ubuntu alternatives for infrastructure. Even Amazon Linux was based on RHEL, and will now move to a mix of centos stream and fedora.

So, it's quite likely a whole lot of companies are running RHEL clone based docker containers, on a RHEL based AWS instance. That's a lot of possible RHEL licences that IBM wanted to grab.
