Dear Madam or Sir,

I live in Japan. So I must comply with the nation's law. When I install software for Linux, is there any easy way to know whether the the installation and use of the software is legal or not?

Worst case you can always use TurboLinux, been around since 1992 and headquartered in Japan.

In general I don't think you have anything to worry about.

As CentOS is GPLv2 compliant, you can use it freely for your own purpose. Only if you want to redistribute or use it for commercial purposes that you have to keep account with many factors you need to comply with.
