IMNAL and I do not work for Red Hat. However, it is MY understanding that you cannot use the binary rpms created by RedHat on systems other than licensed one. However, you can take the SRPMS which Red Hat has made available for download (both original and errata), build binary rpms yourself and then use those binaries on unlicensed systems. Now, I believe that there might be a few people willing to do the rebuilding but most commercial organizations will find that it is more cost effective to simply buy the service from Red Hat. -- Gene
