Yes. You cannot redistribute RHEL as is. You cannot share it with friends -- that is what Fedora is for. If you want to do that then you may gift them the subscription as well. That or take the pain to remove the trademarks. > RedHat and only on those machines that have been paid for. > Yes, so you don't get to pay for only one subscription and use it to keep an entire datacentre up to date. If Red Hat allows that, they will surely go bankrupt in a matter of weeks. This is probably what jtd means by violation of spirit. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.in -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
