Re: [CentOS] Centos 6 Update?

[Anton Parol]

 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making 
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the 
source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface 
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation 
of the executable. 

From http://gpl-violations.org/faq/sourcecode-faq.html

Sounds like theres quite a case here, no?

 Actually, it *does*. If the code was released with missing 'magic fairy
 dust' required to actually compile the GPL derived binaries they
 release, they would be in violation of GPL2 section 3.

 You should read http://gpl-violations.org/faq/sourcecode-faq.html to
 understand the implications of the GPL on source code release. You want
 to read the sections on 'What are scripts used to control
 compilation?' and 'What are scripts used to control installation?'

Interesting. I wonder how would RedHat respond to this.

Racism in open source software. That's the first time I've seen that. 
Regardless of your dislike for someone, even if legitimate, comments like that 
are NOT acceptable.
I suggest you make a swift and sincere apology.

CentOS is free, and you get what you pay for. If you don't like it, fork and 
make your own efforts.

 No, once again you dont understand the issues, the problem or the
 efforts going into the solution.

 Really, try stopping reading for a few weeks. You might surprise yourself.

Do you notice nothing? Or is that the Indian mentality?
