Re: Revisiting an old topic: licensing/titlement and "redistribution"



in red hat training class (12/05), we were instructed that we could legally
use the red hat distro while we had a support contract.
once the contract was up, we were obligated to remove the red hat software.

This directly contradicts a statement by RH themselves:

http://www.redhat.com/rhel/renew/faqs/#6

Although perhaps by "red hat software" you meant the RHN code mentioned
at the end of the FAQ.

if you are working for a company/corporation, ask your company legal
department or attorney to interpret the contract.
it is foolish to ask people on this mailing list to give you legal advice;
it is stupid for any one on this mailing list to give you legal advice.

If anything I am looking to facilitate some discussion and perhaps hear
others' experiences on the matter.

Thanks for looking out for me though -- I won't hire redhat-list as my
laywer anytime soon ;)
