Hi Alain,

Thanks, Karan. Feel your kindness here. I really would like to know
someone who can clear this to me,

your lawyer should be able to help surely ?

Our question was, why continue using something that they don't want we
use, even in a rebuild from them?, but even worst when we reached to
love them?. (please, no offence here)

I dont understand your question. Who is the 'they' and who is the 'we', and who do you love ?

Or, are you asking this list why you should use CentOS even if you dont want to use it ? If that is indeed the question then the answer is simple - dont. Its a free world, you have the liberty to make a choice and use whatever you want.

For that reason, get into my neuronal war and ask you pals. That was
the reason of asking what was exactly the difference between centos
and redhat. Because if CentOS is completely different to redhat, and
though don't have this discriminatory list on it, Cause we believe in
open source, no matter that one bad guy set us apart because you
consider us. open source permit that in a honestly way (I think).

I am a guy that don't want that my infront sidewalk neighbors use my
software, but only the same sidewalk houses that are around me. So one
modest guy in the houses around rebuild the software I do. They
believe in open source and share to all and release them to the
worldwide (including the infront sidewalk pals too). The infront
sidewalk pals appreciate the modest guy that release a rebuild, even
for their comrades in the same sidewalk around whom haven't the money
to pay the software. If it is possible that, even people who build a
software by any reason don't want to others to use them but release
their sources (by now, or in a future close, the modest guy would have
to buy in order to rebuild and continue with its noble cause ahead)
and permit rebuild of one way or another.

So, does the open source permit to those that are no permitted by the
main builder to use one software, use the rebuilt software from them,
if a rebuilder (that can do it) release it without cost and without
that discriminatory list? Thinking so because the modest rebuild is
not a work that apply the commercial laws of the sidewalk around of
that, that do. Is that right Karan?

Like I said before, you lawyer should have the answers you seek. CentOS is released, as a distro, under the GPL - with packages that have their own individual licenses.

But if there is some type of dependency from redhat that propagates
its rules and politics to the rebuilds, feel like all the battle
swords of my neuronal war passing through my chest :(
