CENTOS Legal rangle with...


Well, well. Okay its nothing to do with patents, but could RedHat be going the way of SCO? Go to the centos.org for the low down. What happened to community spirit?

Well, Redhat fear the competition (from their own product) in my pint of view thats whay they are targeting CentOS. CentOS has become so popular that webhosts and other compnies are using it instead of RHEL., which is justified if you don't need the extras that you get if you purchase RHEL.
