Hello,

I've been talking with some friends about the Redhat's SRPMs release issue. I've been reading the trademarks and some points of GPL. But get some confusion around the questions:

Is redhat forced to release the sources of its product?

RedHat choose to use and release GPL code and a requirement of that is the making available of the source code.

Two things:

1) Point me to the clause in the GPL that says you have to give the source away to someone you didn't give binaries to.

2) There is a bunch of software in RHEL that isn't GPL.
