[ale] Red Hat and the GPL

[Geoffrey]

I decided to call Red Hat to get the poop from them on this whole issue. 
  What I was told was that Red Hat does expect that you install a 
purchased copy of the software on a single machine.  If you use it on 
more than one, you would be 'legally' required to perform certain 
procedures to comply.

Although I did not ask for specifics, this is what I was told.  You 
would have to remove all the Red Hat branding/logo stuff.  You would 
have to remove all code and references to the Red Hat Network.  He also 
noted there was other code that would have to be removed.  My assumption 
is, that that code would be proprietary in nature to Red Hat.

I hope this clears up this dicussion.
