Hi Ranjit, I think you can take up the distribution and ship it free to the user on CDs if they are not modified in any way. This is as good as the customer downloading the iso images and burning a CD himself. So, this should not result in a trademark issue.
In any case, if your applications are desktop based, you might want to evaluate if your application works with Mandrake Linux since that is more customized for desktop users. It will be an easy migration for users comfortable with Windows too. And, there are no trademark issues redistributing un-modified copoies of Mandrake. - Navneet > Dear friends, > > Can someone help regarding the copyright issue of Redhat. > > Our company has developed software which runs on Redhat.
