I remind everyone, who is interested, that the absence of clearly expressed definitions in https://developers.redhat.com/terms-and-conditions/ (a) 'development purposes only' (b) 'a production installation' and the lack of specific detail on http://www.redhat.com/en/about/licenses (English version) means Red Hat would experience difficulties proving commercial loss, other than a subscription fee loss. Even a subscription fee loss might be difficult for Red Hat to prove taking into consideration Red Hat knew, or had good cause to know or was recklessly indifferent to users comprehensively knowing precisely what Red Hat meant by (a) and (b) above. A defendant could argue that Red Hat deliberately withheld that vital knowledge from the unsuspecting users because Red Hat sought to exploit users lack of full and detailed knowledge of the restrictions by extorting money from users for commercial gain - a gain that would not have been available to Red Hat if Red Hat had been a lot more specific about the full extent of its limitations. One could legally argue that a criminal fraud was committed by obtaining a free copy when the intention was to use it for conspicuous commercial purposes. That argument is unlikely to apply to a person running their own private system for non-commercial gain. Don't be frightened by Red Hat's statement "are required to pay the applicable subscription fees, in addition to any and all other remedies available to Red Hat under applicable law" "Other remedies" is fantasy. No one can possible legally commit themselves to unknown and undefined "other remedies" as Red Hat's lawyers should know. Seems like US of A style "bullying tactics" intended to frighten people without access to affordable competent legal advice. Me ? Well I am staying on C6 :-) -- Regards, Paul. England, EU.
