OK, that's not really true. Mark is a sharp guy, and gets open source as

Going through my Fedora folder, I came back across this one. I have
never understood the comment. How is RHEL a "closed binary"? I'm having
a time making sense of that statement. No biggie, just curious as heck.
You can't get a copy unless you buy a support contract and agree to only
install it on the covered machine, even though all of the GPL'd content
includes a clause that says additional restrictions can't be appled to
redistribution.
