As i could understand it, the GPL requires that the binary distribution should be accompanied with a *written offer* of source code availability. I am sure there is no such written offer present anywhere right now and there has been a voilation.
More people are familiar with the RH brand name and with RPM. Plus, a better choice than Debian would have been Ubuntu, and frankly, Ubuntu in its current state isn't suited to the Indian market.
Taking it off the topic, i believe the Ubuntu DVD is well suited for indian homes atleast. And one has to remove RH branding anyways if its going to be heavily modified.
I actually dont want to discourage anyone. All effort gone in the making of PCQLinux was done in goodwill. But the fact is my neighbour may get a bad impression of GNU/Linux distributions in general. They trust PCQuest more than me.
