Why would you download an illegal version of RHEL? I see no

There is no illegal version of RHEL. When you buy from RH, you are not buying RHEL, but support and updates for the particular version of RHEL that you paid for. Its the same for Novell and SuSE.

Now, RH artwork [the hat...] and names are copyrighted, but that's it. You can legally download the full source code, which is what the CentOS team did. The CentOS team provides the support [through this mailing list] and the updates for free.

point in that... Maybe there's also illegal customer support on these filesharing networks :oD
