Re: why o why [off topic]
Hi
Red Hat clearly possesses exclusive legal rights to Red Hat Enterprise
Linux, namely the exclusive legal right to distribute RHEL in binary
form, and most importantly, the accompanying exclusive legal right to
pass along the ISV certifications associated with the RHEL binary
distribution. Red Hat uses a legal vehicle, a cleverly crafted license
it calls a subscription agreement, to enable it to possess these
exclusive legal rights in a product that can continue to be marketed
as open source.
Quoting Ian from Progeny doesnt mean anything here. Trademark
guidelines are established for many other open source projects including
Mozilla and Apache. Red Hat merely asks you not to distribute any
products under its name.
I an NOT talking about shipping some propreitry software .....I am
referring to supporting ...so please dont mis quote me or be more off
topic !!
I am talking about documenting proprietary software as part of a project
which supports open source software exclusively. I havent misquoted you
at all and whether proprietary software should be documented as part of
the Fedora docs project is not a off topic discussion.
"The goal of The Fedora Project
<http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/terminology.html> is to work
with the Linux community to build a *complete, general purpose*
operating system"
"Complete" which means fedora can be used in any enviorment that
includes data center or enterprises... many people companies
specially ISP run on fedora in their data center ....
You missed out the part about being "exclusively free software"
http://fedora.redhat.com/about/
" The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to
build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open
source software."
"I guess redhat does not treats fedora as lab rat for upcoming rhel
solely "
straw man argument since RHEL documentation doesnt cover proprietary
software either
