It doesn't matter either way. The SRPMS are covered by the GPL. The SRPMS are available on the ftpsite. The RHN/Service you pay for is support service and access to *binaries* of the updates. There is nothing RH can do if you download a SRPM of a GPLed program and then put it on other machines, built or not. -- Bill Anderson RHCE #807302597505773 bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
