Exactly, that is why I said to read what I had quoted. For reference,
here is the quote:

Do you not see where the poster advocates the pirating of software? If
you would like to make comparisons to RHEL and Cent OS, even RHEL is
available in source form for free download. However the compiled
binaries _cannot_ be distributed, because they include RedHat logos
and other IP. CentOS was actually doing that in the beginning, and
RedHat put a stop to it.

There are many fine and legal software packages on The Pirate Bay,
such as Open Office, Ubuntu, and Firefox. But distributing a compiled
binary that the the uploader has no rights to is pirating software,
even if the source is available under the GPL. Don't do it, don't
advocate it, and don't joke about it. Not here.
