Here is one of them. (A lot of you might have already gone through this. If so, will truly appreciate your inputs.) * ".....This EULA does not permit User to distribute the Programs or their components using Red Hat's trademarks, regardless of whether the copy has been modified....." *Courtesy: Redhat <http://www.redhat.com/licenses/rhel_rha_eula.html> Now if we give somebody a copy of the RHEL (CD Set, the same way as its bought) , I don't know about others, but I clearly think it's a violation of this agreement which he or she has already agreed. -- "The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do." ~Walter Bagehot _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
