Allowed by whom ? Most of the CentOS developers are not based in the US,
and neither are US laws applicable to anything that we do!
And anyway, where can I find such a list where RH products are not

CentOS isnt a US product, if anything is a UK based entity, and there
are no restrictions on anyone using it - whatever part of the world they
might be from, unless the GPL thinks otherwise.
I didnt think the GPL was influenced by internal US politics :) - and I
hope that I am not wrong.
