Most RHEL bugs that are put in BZ from RH support are like that, as they can contain customer-private information (I haven't seen any big change in that). > I think they could have addressed this issue with new licensing clause that > would forbid Oracle like usage and possible permit community release - like > CentOS. Come to think about it - CentOS also steals a large piece of "would > be financial gain" pie - there are countless commercial CentOS users outthere. Calling what CentOS does "stealing" is rather rude. Red Hat can't really use any new licensing clauses that would prevent something like CentOS or Oracle anyway (the kernel is already GPLv2 for example). This change just makes it more difficult for others that want to cherry-pick patches from RHEL kernels and apply them to their own (which AFAIK Oracle is the only major group doing that). -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ rhelv6-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list
