Recently I created a custom installation CD for a client.
Many thanks to Matt Wilson for his help with this.
This has led me to creating a howto for the process.
In the howto I have specified different reason for a custom distribution
eg
Corporate look and feel
Consistancy through-out your organization
Need a Personalized Corporate distribution.
Wish to customize the RPM's that are packaged
You wish to create your own RedHat Clone.
Not being a legal type (do developers and lawyers ever mix?)
I need to know just how for one can actually customize without
going over the bounds of copyright..
I have put together my own mini redhat for internal use but it is
nothing like the "Corporate" versions of Windows I have seen where
almost everything is covered with a company name (eg, in .au Telstra)
and logos. Even the internet explorer has the company logo and colors.
Obviously these packages are created by "MSCE" types, but I see little
of this in the Linux community.
How far can a non distributable version be customised before it becomes
a breach of copyright. i know enough to keep copyright notices intact, but
what of logos, and install docs and other things that might want changing.
Is the replacing of RH logos illegal
if I replaced the logos in the redhat-logos and indexhtml and any other
logoss will l have breached copyright?
Has anyone else ( I image the folk at mandrake have but seem unreachable)
tried this?
kind regards
kevin
