Not only that....but as far as I know....you cannot really 'bootleg' software that is freely distributable under the GPL.

I would encourage others > to do the same. there is no logic to your position. there would be if, somehow, using such "boot-leg" sites adversely affected paying RHN customers. clearly, this is not the case. in fact, RHN customers got exactly what they paid for -- early access to the software (albeit perhaps much more slowly than they had been led to believe). getting the same (freely-available) software from other sources did not affect the RHN customers, or reduce their bandwidth, in any way. if you want to wait for the official release date, that's clearly your choice. but don't present this as somehow taking the moral high ground. rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
