Not to go too far down this rabbit hole, but as a long-time-away-from-Red-Hat user my (possibly quite outdated) experience was that RHEL included some non-free/proprietary software distributed alongside other free-as-in-speech software. If this is still true, it would be a significant mischaracterization to claim that the "source code" for RHEL as a whole is consistently free. If _all_ software provided by RHEL is also now included under free and open licenses, then I'm thrilled and may be more inclined to give it a try again in the future. -- Jeremy Stanley __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
