It is extremely unlikely you will see anything with such a restrictive license on it appear in Red hat Linux. If you know of anything in the distribution with such a license clause, or if anything gets placed into our rawhide developmental releases unknowingly with such a license clause, please let me, or anyone else here at Red Hat know immediately. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A.
