No of course not! ;) The intent of the page is obviously to frighten or otherwise discourage schools that might receive donated machines. It is true that if the machine is donated, the person donating it can not retain the installation media, and then put what would be an illegal copy on their new machine. But that isn't the same as saying that the OS must remain with the hardware for the life of the machine. It's all a matter of how the information is presented. Obviously the intent is to prevent a school that gets a donated machine with _no_ OS installed from reaching for the nearest Windows CD and installing a non licensed copy of Windows. Or perhaps the real fear is that they'll reach for the nearest Red Hat install media and install that. :) - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.2 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjzPch0ACgkQn/07WoAb/StaKQCfZicqjNscPG5xb9UNASmgG/pq Gp0Ani76vVqSA7e9XcTvKOKkidi94Nmp =l4Ij -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
