You can download the source SRPMS for all the RHEL packages but the binary packages are not available for free download. Compiling these SRPMS isn't all that easy either. This is how RedHat makes money. There are some distros out there (like Centos) which give you the binaries based on RHEL sources. > What does this mean for the OpenSource and its Freedom Not much of a difference, I would say. The sources are still open and you are free to do whatever the license permits you to do with it. Let RedHat make some money :).
