Sadly it is true open source but not compatible with the GPL. This
means that you cannot put GPLed code in your embedded product and
distribute it without a special licensing arrangement from Red Hat.
Gary, has Red Hat changed the license to have the exception that
Stallman recommended way back and Cygnus did not put in?
