> 1. Can we freely share the distribution media or ISO image of AS 2.1. This is an interesting question and i'm surprised by the answers given thus far. As you note yourself Redhat has previously allowed copying of their media. You pay for a support license, thus you've been free to distribute copies. Other distributions are even based on redhat releases simply with the trademarks removed. > 2. Does it require the other users ( who use the shared distro ) to > have licenses on AS 2.1 As far as i can see the license uses the term "Subscription Agreement" and says little or nothing about the media. Obviously you don't distribute a copy of the "Subscription Agreement" when you copy the media so i'm not sure this violatees any license. > 3.

They do post all of the source code which begs the question, what is missing if you pull down all the SRPMS, compile and burn to CD ? Clearly if you did this you could distribute the result, but perhaps there are things on the purchased media that aren't available via source ? All this seems confusing and i haven't found any definitive statement from Redhat.
