It's from the Red Hat blog post at:
<https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/centos-stream-building-innovative-future-enterprise-linux>

Senior Vice President and CTO Chris Wright states "In the first half of
2021, we plan to introduce low- or no-cost programs for a variety of use
cases, including options for open source projects and communities and
expansion of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer subscription use
cases to better serve the needs of systems administrators."

If these programs are like the Red Hat Developer subscription, they will
require signing up with Red Hat and agreeing to their legal terms, and
only being entitled to use the software under whatever specific
conditions Red Hat has set out.  The Red Hat Developer subscription is
zero cost already, but the software can only be used for test and
development purposes.
