What does copyright notice on distro CDs mean?

2001-06-22 Thread Alex Hewitt USG
Because Linux software is usually copyrighted under GPL, I have the impression that you can copy a distribution at will. Is that impression accurate? I'm looking at an official Red Hat 7.1 CD and it has the following notice: Copyright (c) 2001 Red Hat, Inc. All Rights reserved. Made in the

I think that the business of putting a copyright on top of a collection of software where individual projects are copyrighted under GPL is pretty confusing. I would avoid copying Red Hat's CD because I honestly can't say that it would be completely legal. Either that or visit Red Hat's web page

I guess what I was after was the restrictions that would apply to copying a Red Hat CD. As I mentioned earlier, I don't think they're getting rich off their package sales so I'd be loath to diminish in any way their ability to make money from what they do. On the one hand these distributions

Hello all, Want we want to do is create a VPN between a Linux server (Red Hat 6.2, kernel 2.2.19) and Win95 (and Win98, and WinME) clients, using IPsec. On the server side, FreeS/WAN (www.freeswan.org) is the obvious choice. What I am less sure about is the client. Does anyone know of an
