well, if I would have one maybe should help, but I don't :(. About this kind of topic in my city I don't know any legal person with authority in these licence topics. If there is someone on internet who I could ask for...I'll be very interested in do so.

with "they" I refer to redhat (the main builder, who give the sources) with "we" I refer to my friends and I, and maybe the others that could be in the same situation of us. and with "love" I mean that have been some years using and trying to understand how something works make me feel a part of it, In this moment part of CentOS that was who give me the direct possibility of use. I refer to the organization and how the things work, and the idea that I've been making of things. Those things that make the differences with other distros.
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.
no, no, no ... I definitely do want to use CentOS, and the way all is organize on it. Just worried about that file I saw in fedora, and my country discrimination. Because fedora is from redhat ..., and CentOS is rebuild from redhat ... just to know the legal influences of that restriction with what I am using now. Trying to see if from a legal point of view the use of CentOS is legally permitted to me. Think GPL goes beyond the countries' laws, or maybe don't ... again as you suggest me think I need a lawyer.

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.
ok, will try to find a lawyer.
