I should dig out my talk from last Fosdem as well.

Its not immediately clear as to who this is targeting. Is it for people who base their products off CentOS ? or is it for the Users who end up with broken setups ? The reason for my confusion is that the doc seems to target the product builders, but the support issue is something that comes down to the users. Also, as far as I am concerned, if their product has >= 1 rpm taken from CentOS, then thats what it is, based on CentOS, based around CentOS, incorporating CentOS, whatever one might term it as. If its got bits from CentOS, they should be able to tell people its got bits from CentOS. -- Karanbir Singh CentOS Project { http://www.centos.org/ } irc: z00dax, #centos at irc.freenode.net
