[BozemanGLUG] Redhat violating GPL?

[David Eder]

No, it's not illegal, it's just nasty.  As a Redhat subscriber, you 
purchase support from them.  You are free to do everything the software 
license allows, but if you do, they will terminate your support 
contract.  The support contract is entirely separate from the software 
license.
