Okay, but that was not my question. I know CentOS. I just want to know if i
could take the packages from Red Hat and use them for my customers?
Unless they have Red Hat logos in them, yes.
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.
So buy a copy of RHEL - it's only $349 for ES, for Heaven's sake.
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 don't know what you charge, but in my business a license for ES costs about the same as two billable hours. At $349/year it's very, very cheap. Just buy it. That way you support the company that supports Fedora!
I think this is a good way to make them an easy decission in the future.
I think if you tell them that it averages out to $30/month to own RHEL they will see the light.
