Document Foundation starts charging €8.99 for 'free' LibreOffice

Fair enough.

All I have to say is: fair enough.

Audacity users stick the knife – and fork – in to strip audio editor of unwanted features

Soundscape

Soundscape is even better and can become: Soundscape Studio, 2S Studio, etc.

Soundacity

Soundacity sounds as well as Audacity.

Rocky Linux is go: CentOS founder's new project aims to be 100% compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux

What's all the fuss?

I don't really understand all this commotion.

Centos-stream 8 is just rh8.x/centos-8.x with slightly anticipated upgrades in between minor *point* *releases* of the very same OS version.

It will just receive the single updates when they're ready and stable, instead of having to wait for the next all-encompassing point release.

Nothing transcendental and nothing across major releases.

I maintain this will make centos better and more useful. Certainly not worse.

Plus, there are already free options to use RH straight away: the free developer license* and the freely redistributable Universal Base Images**.

Moreover, right within the announcement RH also stated that they're working on further options, both free and paid.
