The CentOS Distribution is a free enterprise class computing platform
076f77
to anyone who wishes to use it.  The CentOS Distribution is built from
076f77
publicly available open source SRPMS provided by a prominent North
076f77
American Enterprise Linux vendor.  The CentOS Distribution conforms
076f77
fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policies and aims to be
076f77
100% binary compatible (The CentOS Project mainly changes packages to
076f77
remove upstream vendor branding and artwork.).

076f77
The CentOS Project releases its CentOS Distribution as a GPL work. The
076f77
GPL applies to the software collection known as the CentOS
076f77
Distribution.  Individual packages included in the distribution
076f77
include their own licenses and the GPL applies to all packages that it
076f77
does not clash with. If there is a clash between the GPL and
076f77
individual package licenses, the individual package license applies
076f77
instead.

Neither the CentOS Project (we who build CentOS Distribution) nor any
076f77
version of CentOS Distribution is affiliated with, produced by, or
076f77
supported by the prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor.
076f77
Neither does our software contain the upstream vendor's product ...
076f77
although it is built from the same open source SRPMS as the upstream
076f77
enterprise products.
