Sorry Barry but your wrong. If I burn a CD of a bunch of appliactions I
get off the net and sell it, then by what your saying I should be
supporting it? So then my ISP should support all the applications I get
off the net since they take my money and give me net access?

Have to agree with you here. To me some of the software that they have
"bundled" into their CD's has been odd to say the least.

I fear that RH will probally try to become like M$ in the linux world.
