May be. I didn't read full thread. I'd like to discuss something else. I agree that I have to pay for support, but I can't understand why I shoul pay per server for binary updates! This is completely stupid, just because there is no difference is service! I'll download this updates once and apply them to all our servers. Why I need to pay for each server? I can't understand, sorry. btw, as I pointed before, I can buy one copy for one firm and use binary updates to others just because this is allowed by GPL and RH EULA, so this makes Service Agreement very stupid thing ;-) But, anyway, I'll not feel comfortable, just because I don't like to see that my software vendor is sooo naive :-) So, if RH will change it's draconian Service Agreement to one I can accept (i.e. paying for service as for service, not per server) I'll buy RH AS for our SAP R/3 servers when we'll decide to upgrade our SLES7 to something else. :-)))))))) -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
