From their trademark FAQ http://www.redhat.com/f/pdf/corp/RH-3573_284204_TM_Gd.pdf On page 5 second column "If you are an educational institution, a not-for-profit organization, a user group, or an individual affiliated with or employed by any of those organizations, Red Hat grants you a trademark license with respect to the RED HAT mark for use with the non-commercial redistribution of Red Hat(R) Enterprise Linux(R) in the form you electronically downloaded it from our FTP site or other authorized electronic download sites or as copied from an original disk from Red Hat or its authorized distributors (either from the boxed set or delivered directly to you by Red Hat or an authorized distributor)." "We consider non-commercial redistribution to be any distribution for which you charge no more than the cost of replicating the CD and a reasonable handling fee." IANL, but I deduce from the FAQ that if you have a legitimate copy and you are a member of one of these groups you could distribute it for the cost of CD and handling. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
