Red Hat no longer releases traditional beta's

Red Hat no longer releases traditional beta's anymore.
This news has been around for a while. But at least back then I didn't have time to discuss it.

After Red Hat had previously decided that the source of its Enterprise Linux, will be no longer provided without an active license, nor can't be used without an active license. According to the Red Hat company terms and conditions

This seems like the next step to make it harder for a third party to make a 1:1 copy, 100% bug-for-bug clone. Since there will be no more betas. Third-party's aready have a backlog when Red Hat reveals its final version.

Never mind whether or not the source may be used with or without a license. After all, opinions are divided on this case since, as we are talking about open source software. It seems to that this ultimately is going to be lawyer fodder.
