Since i really like Fedora Core and the RHEL - the sceond one espacially in commercial envoirenments - i really would like to install an enterprise Linux witout to infringe any license. My customer will then be happy, that he could use an enterprise Linux operation system _for_free_. And after some time he maybe needs enterprise support and could easy buy a license at RedHat, use the support and finally update the system when he wants. Or maybe i will do the updates and could earn some money too... ;-) I think this is a good way to make them an easy decission in the future. Regards -- Johannes Findeisen
