Dear all
I'm trying to get familiar with Fedora Core 9.
I would like to ask you if I can use this OS in my work for making profit or if this kind
of usage is not permitted under the licence terms of FC 9 ?
Please let me know about that, since I'm a little confused with all the talk about
licences, GNU etc. Is this licence about copying and redistributing the source code or
does it refer to the terms of use ?
Fedora has no use restrictions. You are free to use it commercially as
well. You are free to copy and redistribute as many copies as you would
like as well.
Note however, with the lifecyle of Fedora, a month after Fedora 11
release, Fedora 9 will stop getting updates.

Also, it is not Fedora Core anymore but just Fedora since core and
extras got merged together back before Fedora 7 release.
