it is an old story. you can frrely have the source code of the rh
enterprise because is releaed under the GPL. see yourself on the redhat
ftp server. u will find all the src.rpm packets of the redhat enterprise
linux. if you want the redhat enterprise red box and the redhat cd and
the manual and the assistance and the rpm packets you must pay. there is
no way to separate assistance and rpm. but remember: source is
absolutley free.
