Do you have any sort of LLC setup where you could write a statement of work around providing these packages?
I have no idea what this means, care to elaborate a bit ?
If I could get a SOW/quote from some consulting/professional-services company outlining "make the initial packages and provide one year of updates in a sub-72-hour timeframe" I could get a PO for that with ease. If you then turn around and use that money to buy a license to get the packages, thats between you and redhat.
Frankly if there's anyone out there that does this sort of thing for centos please let me know, there's a lot of stuff I could cut POs for.
I'm not sure how we can do something like this with the CentOS organisation, but I think we should. I'm interested to provide CentOS professional services (like I'm currently providing Red Hat services).
Is there a trademark ? What are the conditions to use it ? How would licenses be transformed into donations ? Is there a transparency regarding donations/sponsorship ?
What do we need to allow 3rd parties to provide services around CentOS ?
Maybe another mailinglist ?
