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 USA."

If I wanted, could I burn a copy of this CD?

I know that ISO images of most of the distributions are available on-line but
I'm not sure what the copyright restrictions are for the distribution CDs.

Any ideas?
