correct.
Could be the issue of the CentOS Developers be redhat's customers a relationship with redhat ? ( supposing that if they pay for something they becomes customers of that).
none of the CentOS devlopers are directly customers of Redhat for the distro products ( that i am aware of ) , some of them might be via commerical / work place routes )
But if there is a close, they have to. right? I think, in order to keep CentOS alive.
What happen with those countries that are not allowed to use redhat, can they use CentOS ? does redhat want this ? is this permitted by some legal argument.
Allowed by whom ? Most of the CentOS developers are not based in the US, and neither are US laws applicable to anything that we do!
And anyway, where can I find such a list where RH products are not permitted ?
the list was shown to me from fedora core 5 no redhat, I have no redhat cds to look for it. In fedora the list can be found in the first CD in the file eula.txt in the Export Control section in the 67 line. Or in the url: http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/rawhide-snapshots/2006-05-27-0237/eula....
CentOS does not distribute our product in any places where the United States export laws prohibit distribution.
CentOS isnt a US product, if anything is a UK based entity, and there are no restrictions on anyone using it - whatever part of the world they might be from, unless the GPL thinks otherwise.
Even when redhat would have a list similar to what fedora has?.
