Re: Red Hat GPL No Longer Available

[George Ernest Noon <hiram ici net>]

I've just been to Red Hat Home Page (http://www.redhat.com) and saw nothing
there that even hinted at any such thing. I think that until either RedHat,
OpenSoftware Association, or someone else official makes a verifiable
public statement we ought to view with suspicion 'privileged' posts of this
sort. Especially when no acreditation is given for the information.....
