Red Hat & Centos On Name Usage

Posted by Hemos on Monday February 14, 2005 @02:45AM from the same-problem-as-a-long-time dept.

Mister Incognito writes "As you probably know, Centos is a free distribution compiled from sources of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. As requested, the distro has any references to Red Hat removed. But now Red Hat has decided that Centos must not even mention their name on the web site, or link to Red Hat, or even use metatags with its name on it. " Well, actually, what RHAT has asked for is that Centos comply with the their terms for using the name; Matthew Szulik has talked about this before, and should be noted that not all of the copyright stuff is "bad."

Try decaf! Besides allowing you to think clearly, it will also make it easier for you to sleep at night.
