IANAL Actually it is required according to their guidlines: http://www.redhat.com/about/corporate/trademark/guidelines.html You can reuse/alter any GPL/LGPL licensed code as long as you follow the guidelines set by the license. > As it is Opensource, can i create a distribution which contains > my own name in all places where Redhat is? In essence yes, provided that you follow the guidelines of the license. There was some discussion about this some weeks ago on this list, see the archives: https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/anaconda-devel-list/2002-October/thread .html > * In case, if i want to add some functionality in my code, > like writing one script after installation is over, > and execute it at the end of anaconda, how to add it to > anaconda package? The simpliest way would be to use a kickstart-file which executes the commands in the %post (?) section. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/part-in stall-info.html Poltsi _________________________________________ Paul-Erik Törrönen Cardinal Information Systems Ltd Pursimiehenkatu 29-31 C, 00150 Helsinki, FINLAND E-mail: paul-erik.torronen@xxxxxxxxxxx Mobile: +358 (0) 40 703 1231 Phone: +358 (0) 424 162 4204 Fax: +358 (0) 424 162 4207 Web: <www.cardinal.fi>
