RE: Quick cluster licensing question

And by "commercial redistribution", one would infer that means money
changes hands. So giving it away is completely legit...

And oddly enough, even reading the EULA myself right now, I'm confused.

"Customer should read the information
    found at http://www.redhat.com/about/corporate/trademark/ before
    distributing a copy of the Software, regardless of whether it has
    been modified.  If Customer makes a commercial redistribution of
    the Software, unless a separate agreement with Red Hat is executed
    or other permission granted, then Customer must modify the files
    identified as ~ ~\REDHAT-LOGOS~@~] and ~ ~\anaconda-images~@~] to
    remove all images containing the ~ ~\Red Hat~ ~] trademark or the
    ~ ~\Shadowman~@~] logo.  Merely deleting these files may corrupt 
    the Software."

That seems to imply that non-commercial redistribution doesn't require
modification.  Heck, I'm guilty of violating my own company's EULA if it

has your meaning :-)
