We purchased ES over the web. We didn't sign anything. The license agreements are on the web - they're public, so consult your own lawyer to see what you are and aren't allowed to do. > Either compiling all the options or consolidating all the necessary > files for an Advanced server can get you a legitimate copy for free, > but the ease of installation, support, and updates will be more > difficult, if not impossible to keep up with. Please note that Red Hat is only obligated under the GPL to distribute the sources to those it distributes the binaries to, and that they don't have to make those available via public FTP/Web servers. If too many people take away from Red Hat's revenue stream, I would expect them to tighten down the hatches. > As for the Up2Date, it seems to me that if that feature goes away, > then someone will recreate or modify it to be more flexible. i.e. > Create a version that retrieves RPMs from volunteer sites or from a > server.

There are already up2date clones out there. Some people won't trust them as much as they trust Red Hat though, especially in an enterprise environment where you may need your security hole closed *now*. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
