Red Hat permits you to download ISO images for each license--these are the cds that your rhrep is speaking about most likely. in red hat training class (12/05), we were instructed that we could legally use the red hat distro while we had a support contract. once the contract was up, we were obligated to remove the red hat software. if you are working for a company/corporation, ask your company legal department or attorney to interpret the contract. it is foolish to ask people on this mailing list to give you legal advice; it is stupid for any one on this mailing list to give you legal advice. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
