Ah, but that is what happens. 'service' is called warranty. Is it legal to
sell a new vehicle without a warranty? I'm certain the market wouldn't bear
it, anyway.

Is RH really locking people into RH? Could I not purchase a copy of RHEL an=
d
then resell it multiple times? True, RH doesn't have to allow much of the
software to be further released as not all licenses have the guarantees of
the GPL but thus far I haven't heard of RH exploiting that.
I could see RH requiring me to change the name and remove RH logos.
