Why not have a RedHat representative answer the following questions directly as they are. In all the questions we are assuming that there is no requirement for paid support of any kind.
1. Is the RedHat Enterprise Linux operating system available free of cost for installation in any form like CD or an ISO or directly downloadable through a distro builder like Jigdo that will produce a ready ISO for burning into a CD or through a net install CD ISO that installs a minimum base software and downloads the remaining packages from the repos?
2. If one customer has purchased an RHEL CD, can anyone else make a copy of the CD or use the same CD and legally install it on other systems free of cost without involving RedHat in any way?
