1. The following copyright license applies to all works published under the Red Hat Documentation License (referred to below as the RHDL).
Please read the RHDL carefully - it is similar to the Linux Documentation Project Copying License, which is, in turn, somewhat like the GNU General Public License, but there are several conditions in the RHDL that differ from what you may be used to. If you have any questions about the RHDL, please send email to docs@redhat.com.
Documentation published under the RHDL (hereinafter "Document," which includes both the singular and the plural) is copyrighted by Red Hat Software, Inc., or the Document's author. NO DOCUMENT IS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
A Document published under the RHDL may be reproduced and distributed, in whole or in part, subject to the following conditions:
Exceptions to these rules may be granted for academic purposes: Write to docs@redhat.com and ask. These restrictions are here to protect us as authors, not to restrict you as educators and learners.
Although every precaution has been taken in the preparation of each Document, the publisher and author assume no responsibility for errors or omissions in the Document, and assume no liability for damages resulting from the use of the information contained in the Document.
2. Publishing Documents
If you are interested in publishing and distributing one or more Documents, please read the following notice.
By the license given in the previous section, anyone is allowed to publish and distribute verbatim copies of any Document. You need no additional permission for this. However, if you would like to distribute a translation of, or a derivative work based upon, any Document, you must first obtain written permission from Red Hat Software, Inc. Send requests for permission via email to docs@redhat.com.
All translations and derivative works of any Document must also be copyrighted and licensed under the RHDL. For example, if you plan to release a translation of a Document, the translation must also be subject to the RHDL.
You may, of course, sell any Document for profit. Keep in mind, however, that because each Document is freely redistributable, anyone may make copies (in either printed or electronic form) and may redistribute those copies free of charge, if they wish to do so.
We do not require royalty payments for any revenue or profit earned from selling any Document. However, we ask that you send to Red Hat Software, Inc. two free copies of each Document that you publish. If you are publishing or planning to publish any Document, please send email to docs@redhat.com, and we will send you our current shipping address.
We encourage Linux software distributors to include Documents with their products. The Documents are intended to be used as the authorized documentation for Red Hat Software, Inc.'s products.
