Please read the beginning of the thread. http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-October/071437.html -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ You're right - I didn't catch this thread from the beginning. Sorry. I haven't read the GPL recently. I thought they had to provide the source code to ANYONE, not just paying customers who bought the binaries. Of course, even in that case, you can be charged for the costs of transferring that source code, and I guess RH can charge whatever they want, like the price of a RHWAS subscription. :( Prentice The contents of this communication, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
