Qui c'e' spiegato tutto. Si legge in 10 minuti...

In particolare ti evidenzio:

"[...]Red Hat Linux is a modular operating system made up of hundreds of
individual software components, each of which was individually written and
copyrighted. Throughout this document these components are referred to,
individually and collectively, as the "Linux Programs." Each Linux Program
has its own applicable end user license agreement. Most of the Linux
Programs are licensed pursuant to an open source EULA that permits you to
copy, modify, and redistribute the software, in both source code and
binary code forms. With the exception of the content of certain image
files identified below, the remaining Linux Programs are freeware or have
been placed in the public domain.[...]"

e poi:

"[...]THE “RED HAT” TRADEMARK, THE "BLUECURVE" TRADEMARK AND RED HAT'S
SHADOW MAN LOGO ARE REGISTERED TRADEMARKS OF RED HAT, INC. IN THE UNITED
STATES AND OTHER COUNTRIES. WHILE THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT ALLOWS YOU TO
COPY, MODIFY AND DISTRIBUTE THE SOFTWARE, IT DOES NOT PERMIT YOU TO
DISTRIBUTE THE SOFTWARE UTILIZING RED HAT'S TRADEMARKS. YOU SHOULD READ
THE INFORMATION FOUND AT
http://www.redhat.com/about/trademark_guidelines.html
BEFORE DISTRIBUTING A COPY OF THE SOFTWARE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT HAS
BEEN MODIFIED. IN ADDITION, IF YOU MAKE A COMMERCIAL REDISTRIBUTION OF THE
SOFTWARE AND (A) YOU DO NOT FALL WITHIN AN EXCEPTION PROVIDED IN RED HAT'S
TRADEMARK GUIDELINES, (B) YOU HAVE NOT ENTERED INTO A REDISTRIBUTION
AGREEMENT WITH RED HAT, OR (C) YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADEMARK LICENSE
AGREEMENT WITH RED HAT, THEN YOU MUST MODIFY THE FILES IDENTIFIED AS
REDHAT-LOGOS AND ANACONDA-IMAGES SO AS TO REMOVE ALL USE OF IMAGES
CONTAINING THE "RED HAT" TRADEMARK OR RED HAT'S SHADOW MAN LOGO. NOTE THAT
MERE DELETION OF THOSE FILES MAY CORRUPT THE SOFTWARE.[...]"
