- tsimionescu 3y agoNot really, though: if you do so, you lose the right to continue doing business with IBM/RedHat, so you can only really do it once.

- ninkendo 3y agoHmm, this seems counter to the notion of GPL, IMO. The GPL allows you to redistribute the source. I don't think it allows companies like RedHat to impose restrictions like "here's the source, but this is the end of the road: you can't take it any further than this"... it would surprise me if RedHat's terms weren't themselves a GPL violation, if what you're saying is true.
