The plan for Directory Server for CentOS-4 is to port RedHat Directory Server (and not Fedora Directory Server) when it is released for RHEL. That should happen when RedHat thinks it is stable for production in the enterprise ... I would assume that they will charge for it like they do for RHGFS/RHCS when they feel they have it stable.
I thought that have been doing that since the AOL deal last year? It had been available on the RHN for awhile, in the unchanged/original form.
Unless I was mistaken, the deal was that AOL would allow Red Hat to GPL it after an undisclosed number of sales had occurred _or_ by April 30, 2005, whichever came first.
The new FDS and RHDS releases are just more updated/integrated releases with the Red Hat product line. E.g., more integrated SASL/Kerberos integration with Red Hat's offerings out-of-the-box. Previously there was a lot of post-install work to get Kerberos working via GSSAPI.
