Actually, I'm more concerned about Red Hat's agreement, not the GPL. Does RH restrict you in any legal way from using Yum? Does RH impose any legal roadblocks on NOT using up2date to keep your system updated? Red Hat's license allows them to "audit" you at their discretion; I want to ensure that by using YUM, we're not violating anything... |---------+--------------------------------> | | "Hedemark, Magnus" | | | <CHedemark@truepositi| | | on.com> | | | Sent by: | | | yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxx| | | ug.duke.edu | | | | | | | | | 10/06/2003 02:56 PM | | | Please respond to | | | "Yellowdog Updater, | | | Modified" | |---------+--------------------------------> >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: "'Yellowdog Updater, Modified'" <yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | | cc: | | Subject: RE: [Yum] yum and RH9 license | >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| jcosta asks: > If we use Yum on a production RH 9 server, and point to a 3rd-party > repository, no subscription fees are due to Red Hat, correct?

You mean the Gnu GPL? It's free speech and free beer. _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum ----------------------------------------- This email (including any attachments) is confidential.
