Subject to the trademark use limitations set forth in this Agreement, Red Hat grants you a license in the collective work pursuant to the GNU General Public License. ----- I was wrong on the collective works part which only covers those licenses that are not in conflict with the GPL as I kind of stopped reading after this section. ***************************************************************************** The following copyright applies to the Red Hat Linux compilation and any portions of Red Hat Linux it does not conflict with. Whenever this policy does conflict with the copyright of any individual portion of Red Hat Linux, it does not apply. ***************************************************************************** Beyond that I think that the license is pretty clear that it is GPL as long as you dont break the Trademark parts. -- Stephen John Smoogen smoogen@xxxxxxxx Los Alamos National Labrador CCN-2 B-Schedule PH: Ta-03 SM-261 MailStop P208 DP 17U Los Alamos, NM 87545
