Is it freely-redistributable? Let's look at the updates to the current distro in both RH and SuSE: Can I download the updates from the internet? Sources as well (srpms, for both RH and suse). This would make my life a lot easier. And suppose I have aquired the right to download updates packages in a support contract from RH/suse: do I get the source? (so I can rebuild the package later and adapt build options) And am I allowed to redistribute those packages? And am I allowed to make my own modified distro based on any of those distros and sell it? -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir
