You won't be violating any CentOS license. It's entirely open source. You won't be violating CPanel to download and install the image. It's a closed source commercial product and it won't run without a license. The image is supplied by BuyCPanel.com; they're one of two authorized CPanel resellers. You can get a license from them at a cost of $15 per month for your "instance". Note it requires an external addressable IP# on which it will run; you need to get that from Amazon. Do you really need CPanel? Why? (We manage lots of servers, lots of sites, and we don't need it <smile>.) The only reason I could see for needing it would be if you want to do commercial webhosting for others. Learning it will NOT teach you anything about server administration. You can try a demo from the BuyCPanel.com website: http://www.buycpanel.com/screenshots.php Note I have nothing to do with these people or CPanel; I use a competitor product: DirectAdmin and additionally I run the largest independent support company for DirectAdmin. DirectAdmin does NOT have resellers, and I do NOT make money if anyone buys DirectAdmin. If you need any information about webhosting with or without either of these products please feel free to contact me offlist.
