This article makes it sound like you can't burn the Red Hat ISOs and even claim that they contain Red Hat Linux. That would prevent distributors such as CheapBytes and others from distributing Red Hat.
It hasn't affected me as a broadband user, but I'm sure that CheapBytes and other places which sell cheap Red Hat CDs have accounted for myriad new Red Hat users. I understand the need to protect the trademark, but what is going to happen to potential users who are not going to purchase a Red Hat boxed set and do not have the bandwith/knowledge to download and burn the ISOs?
