want to do. They are simply referring to making a copy of the _original_ RHEL CD in their frequently asked questions. They cannot do that.
I'm wondering how making a copy violates a trademark. The copy is still exactly the same product. A trademark is used to identify a product with a brand, copying does not change that. Trademark protects you from other people using your brand for their products. But in case of copying, it is still your product and it is representing the same product.
Making a personal copy for preserving the original CD from scratches is not the issue here. It is implied that the purpose of copying an RHEL CD is to install it on other systems that are not within the coverage of the paid-for installation.
