Centos can take my GNU Hello sources, compile them, and distribute those binaries (assuming they make source available and take pains to exclude my additional file with restrictive copyright). However, what if I audit a customer and find that they have more copies of GNU Hello installed than they've paid for? By the wording of the contract, they owe me more money plus interest. Of course, because I'm wearing a fancy suit my Enterprise customers will trust binaries from me but not from Centos. Of course, they are, for the most part, too damn clueless and lazy to figure out how to manage their stacks for themselves. So, Centos is fine but in the target market -- nobody can/will/wishes to use it. Today "Enterprises" and tomorrow, everywhere. -t _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
