Title: License Issues
Post by: Edward Owen on July 11, 2003, 03:13:58 AM

There is a problem with the "/etc/issue file" in SME 5.6.

It claims it is owned by the e-smith-release RPM, when clearly it should be owned by redhat-release RPM found on Redhat CDs.

The e-smith-release should be GPL, since the file "/etc/issue" belongs to another GPL RPM owned by RedHat.  Because the e-smith-release RPM is copyright Mitel Networks Corporation, and not released as GPL, Mitel may be in violation of the licensing agreement with RedHat.

Any thoughts?

Here is the /etc/issue file that I am talking about.
