They don't even need to release "RHEL", but only the packages except for the trademark packages (images etc.), so that Fedora can simply create a distro out of it. <I_am_not_a_lawyer> Havig said that, in the past I have heard RH people saying that they don't understand why people are rebuilding the binaries (except trademark packages etc. of course), as they (the single packages, not RHEL as a "composition") may be distributed freely. Either this is not true, or nobody has ever done the work to find this out in detail. </I_am_not_a_lawyer> -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
