totalitarian republic of CentOS. I believe an announcement

All sources used by CentOS are freely available under a distributable license, as are those for patched RPMs consistent with its GPL obligation when _distributing_ the product of another; the CentOS art and security keying are about all that you'll need to change when you found your new republic, Plato. I think perhaps a closer read of your book would reveal discussion of a meritocracy, governed by philosopher kings.

CentOS is basically RHEL without the trademarks so it is compatible.

Spike.

..... btw, congrats on deftly avoiding Godwin.

Please note that CentOS' art represents a trademarked item; you appear to have missed the fact that a more correct say to have stated that may be:

        CentOS strives to be binary compatible with its
        upstream, with that upstream's trademarked content
        elided.

Good luck with your vision of a non-"totalitarian" future. Please post the URL of the new project's website, and don't forget to^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h write. Negativism, trolling behviours, and leaching without conferring value earn places in my personal 'killfile'
