The ones that require the work that the CentOS team does to
rebuild/rebrand/repackage before redistribution is permitted. This was
not required in the early days when RH developed its community support
(up through RH9) and perhaps it would have been wiser to walk away from
everything RedHat-related the day they made that change. There just
didn't seem to be a suitable alternative until Ubuntu started the
long-term support releases.
