You should not confuse privilege with marketing. You paid for the training and exam. You earned the right to use the letters. They do it to make their products look higher end. The end result is profit for all. There is no privilege involved.

They are aware of this auction and I'm surprised that eBay hasn't yanked the auction yet. As I understand it, this is a violation of the copyrights on the materials. I know at least 2 Red Hat instructors follow taroon-list (Hi Steve & Chuck!). I don't know if they follow redhat-list as well. For the rest of you, you should be aware that the RHCE is a privilege, not a right, and Red Hat does have the power to yank your certification if you violate any Red Hat training copyrights: "Should Participant violate any of Red Hat's copyrights or should Participant be a party to use or distribution of training materials that violates Red Hat's copyright, this Agreement will immediately terminate, and Participant may be subject to other civil claims." That's section 6 in https://www.redhat.com/training/certification/rhce/logos/ Yup, if you bought this to get your RHCE, you could potentially be stripped of the RHCE honor. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
