RH is probably more interested in blocking Oracle Linux than Rocky, Alma and friends. My guess is that they will close the loophooles that Rocky Linux uses, but leave others open. We will know in the weeks ahead who they really want to block.

Rumors of MUMPS' demise are exaggerated
As noted in a previous comment, MUMPS is very much alive as the language in which the highly regarded and increasingly widely used VistA application is programmed. Furthermore, MUMPS is also the mainstay of many high end health care applications. The reason it is not as visible is that it is a back-end workhorse, and accessed via other front end technologies - such as Javascript.
There is an active news group - comp.lang.mumps - and GT.M (http://fis-gtm.com), which I manage, is a FOSS implementation of MUMPS on Linux that has been downloaded thousands of times from Source Forge.
