fyi - the existing instructions for RHEL/CentOS 8 rpm installation work 
fine on the brand new Rocky Linux that was just released yesterday.   I did 
a quick installation of the Simulator and it looks as expected.   Looks 
like RHEL8 and CentOS 8 to me.


fyi - Rocky Linux has an......interesting.....set of criteria on its 
downloads page under the Export Compliance heading that sure is confusing 
to me and specifically item 'c' in the document (link) 
<https://rockylinux.org/download> seems very unusual and would seem to 
exclude a lot of their prospective user community.   I asked a question in 
their forums asking them to clarify.

What's interesting is CentOS has the identical wording on 'their' download 
page, and as a CentOS user since day-one I never noticed that.  Ignoring 
the weapons stuff, it could be interpreted as saying places like SpaceX 
cannot use Rocky or CentOS, which would surprise me.

I also see similar though seemingly less restrictive wording on some Oracle 
Linux agreements like (this) 
<https://www.oracle.com/downloads/licenses/oracle-vm-license.html> that 
seem more intended to be purely US Export compliance related.

I guess be aware of the terms for downloading, just like for any other 
software.

(please - no followups on US Export compliance or perceived evil of 
developing/testing/producing things you might not personally like, etc.   
My intent was to mention it as it 'might' be interpreted as saying you 
cannot use Rocky for hobbyist uses related to drones or rockets and the 
like, and I know CentOS is everywhere basically at this point).
