[Centos] RHEL in package names

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello all!

I just saw that a fair amount - in numbers: 62 - of CentOS 4 packages
contain the term "RHEL" (or lower case "rhel") in their name. Though the
package name alone does not say much, doesn't that may be problematic
concerning the legal usage of a Prominent North American Enterprise
Linux Vendor's trademarks. Shouldn't these package names been cleaned as
soon as possible?

# yum list | grep -i RHEL

I hope I didn't overview this already being discussed in recent past.
