something that intrigued us both. You may want to read this:

I quote:
"Description: The summary of the project is to create a distribution similar to CentOS Linux which is nearly the same as Red Hat Linux - with the exception that Red Hat's graphic images and name have been removed in areas to prevent legal issues. We already have a distribution similar to CentOS with the appropriate graphic files already developed. However, it is now old and needs to be updated.'"
[..]
"You should actually be able to use the CentOS Linux distribution as your starting point to minimize work efforts."
[..]
"Deliverables: [..] 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement)."
works in this case would only involve the scripts ( if any, you could actually do it all by hand, might end up with finger stress and a bad case of keyboard rundown ... but hey, could be done ). The Code itself is all licensed under Open Source Licenses ( various different names / specifics - but its all open source ).
Maybe artwork and other code additions that his person has created, might also be included in his own restrictive (c)....
But, I am not sure what that person is trying to do ?
