      OK, so is Redhat breaking any license? Do you really think a company like Redhat would open itself to thousands of lawsuits like that. The CEO already explained that this is totally legal and covered by GPL. They are in fact distributing the source to the people receiving the product. This is exactly what GPL says. They are not forced to open the source code to people who aren’t getting the distributed software.

      What is your complaint then? They are not breaking any law and they are following the GPL license.

        RedHat is not breaking any licenses, but neither are people who acquire the source code and redistribute it. This is also covered under GPL.
