I glanced through this before downloading the ISO.
But I can't locate it now on the RedHat website(s).

I run CentOS on two home servers (in different countries),
and have no ambition to make money from them,

I found puzzling the suggestion (not by Johnny Hughes)
that RedHat's offer is of little value.
