The "Red Hat Linux Advanced Server Service Agreement" (which includes the EULA) is the licence that applies to customers of RHAS. > If I didn't buy RH AS from RH I have no obligitaions from Service > Agreement, right? This is getting confusing. You cannot buy RHAS from anyone else than Red Hat or authorized resellers. When you buy RHAS you pay for service and support, not for the software itself, with the exception of prebuilt binaries and handbooks. When you buy RHAS from someone unauthorized, e.g. someone selling copies of RHAS, that would be violating Red Hat's trademarks. It would be different if you got an unmodified copy from a colleague for private or business use. > Again, I can buy RH AS for one firm and use it in another having > service for first firm. I even can not to install RH AS if first firm, > but I'll have installation ;-) Well, ;) this (and the rest of the thread) boils down to the question whether it would be clever to do something like that? It would be possible. The first firm would get service, the second not. Unless, of course, you rolled your own updates or applied the binary software updates also in the second firm, which would be illegal with regard to the licence agreement. The first firm would pay, the second not. You could divide the costs between the two, but the second firm would not be entitled for service/support. One could argue whether all that would be fair use of GPL'ed material or just criminal energy, effectively working-around Red Hat's licence agreement for their product and damaging their business model? - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+Fdzr0iMVcrivHFQRAp9eAJ4vtsfjWW3SOcZYRHEQfT13/m6whQCfe/Rv 93hmb1RUG2k2TXTpJSG9XGA= =W8Oq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
