but that does not answer the original question which is 'is it perfectly legal to share RHEL install discs?'. a friend recently got into the same predicament[1] and the RHEL-clones are currently not an option. the general consensus i got was different from what jan answered, more so if the installers are exchanged without the financial aspects. if anybody can post a link to the RH site concerning distribution (especially if it is something that a non-lawyer can understand)then that would provide a definitive answer.
