>From Mark Shuttleworth's blog posted earlier:
"This enables us to make the desktop available in a high quality,
fully maintained form, without any royalties or license fees. By
contrast, every other commercial Linux desktop is a licensed product ?
you can?t legally use it for free, the terms for binaries are similar
to those for Windows or the MacOS."

That's completely false. It's not even *kinda* true on any grounds.
You can freely use or distribute RHEL or SLES or any other
"commercial" GNU/Linux distro without fear - because it's all GPL or
GPL-compatible.
