That's not what CentOS and White Box do. They take someone else's
work, remove references to the people that did the work, and package
it up so that you can "freely" use Red Hat's efforts in creating RHEL.

You do understand that they're *required* by Red Hat to remove those
"references to the people that did the work", right?

Yeah, buddy, I am. I'm not an idiot, I just think what they're doing
is morally wrong. Capiche?

Then if I except your logic, Red Hat in morally wrong for selling Linux
without giving LinusTorvalds any compenstaion...
