Ok, let me get this straight: you want open source on your OS but don't care about it for third party apps? If you have the third party source, you can rebuild it too. If you're using a closed source third party apps then doing the same thing with the OS shouldn't be a problem. Nothing in the GPL requires source to be rebuildable so that closed source binary only apps can run unmodified on rebuilt binaries; kindof goes against the spirit of the GPL, no? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
