Have you read 3. entirely? I don't think they can do that.
So sue them. If you win, you're right. If not, you're not.
not sure whether we're, at all, going to keep using RedHat.
Yay!
Tasks like WhiteBox EL will help us ease the task of building our own RHEL a-like distribution.
We will likely have to create a small infrastructure for updates & package management.
And of course, that infrastructure and that rebuild is /cheaper/ than paying for a couple of licenses, right?
