Surely the point of the GPL is that you can't restrict the suppliees freedom, so I can call it "Spot the Dog", or a "Packet of Liquorice Allsorts" if I want? (Definitely late Friday Afternoon) Paul
===== Original Message From John Horne <J.Horne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> =====From the Linux Emporium web site:10th May We are promised boxed sets of Red Hat. Linux 7.3 on about the 15th of this month. New on the cheap CDs page is Thread Linux 7.3. .. What is Thread Linux? One of the most popular Linux distributions is compiled by Red Hat. Software Inc, an American company. Although the distribution can be freely copied and redistributed they have recently started insisting that it should not be called by the name which they use for it. (See their notes on the subject.) My reading of this was that RedHat linux was called RedHat linux, but that anyone else who downloaded RedHat linux and sold it on couldn't call it RedHat linux? Or am I reading that the wrong way round, because it looks as if Thread Linux is actually RedHat linux as sold by RedHat! Don't forget it's Friday afternoon so I may well have it all wrong! :-) John. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 233914 E-mail: jhorne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx PGP key available from public key servers -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
