Yes. But we never disagreed on that. But if you retrieve a copy of GPL'ed software from RHN, you are allowed to redistribute it according the terms of the GPL.
You also brought up the redhat-logos rpm, with is NOT GPL. That particular RPM is required for system operation and they certainly can charge for each copy of that rpm that is run.
True, as I have stated in my previous e-mail.
Of course, just using CentOS (or Scientific Linux, WBEL) will free you up from that payment issue anyway :D
Yes :). Making RHEL piracy kinda pointless ;).
