Some info on the legality of rebuilding as. via rhel-3 mailing list.
This is incorrect.
Already you are breaking license conditions. If you buy 1, then you have 1 license for 1 server. You must delete all except 1 OS. Period.
*Don't post here any question about unlicensed products*
This is true for the *binaries* received *only*. Red Hat *cannot* place additional license restrictions on the *source*, as per the GPL:
Section 6 of the GPL (http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl.html) expressly states "You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein." - that would include limitations on copying, distributing, or modifying the source.
Therefore, Redhat can *only* place additional restrictions on the *binary* copies of RHEL. Their license *only* applies to the binaries. They *cannot* place a more restrictive license on the SRPMS, or they violate the GPL.
