What sort of crap is this? Of course it is legal, you simply pay a fee the appropriate company like any OS you have pay dollars for.
Sigh... here we go again. OK, Kevin: how much do you pay to download the free, zero-cost ISO image files from Red Hat's site? And of that $0.00 you paid, how much do you think is available for Red Hat to pay for MP3 licenses? And do you not see any conflict between the freedom to redistribute the ISO image files, and the installation tree, and the whole OS, and a license which is based on a per-user cost?
Allow me to spell it out for you: "Given Red Hat's distribution model where the OS can be freely downloaded at zero cost, and freely redistributed at zero cost, it is impossible to maintain this business model and simultaneously comply with license terms which demand a per-user payment."
There... is that better for you?
