Of course they can, as I'm sure you actually know, many other than the Chinese already do. The only thing they can't legally dupe is the Red Hat name and trade mark symbol. Which is why they call it Red Flag instead. How clever of the Chicoms. /SARCASM
Wrong again. RH does put in proprietary software in their product. You cannot copy the "full product" (your words) legally for free.
Damn, you just don't give up, do you? Actually, calling it Red Flag is pretty dangerous according to trademark. It's in the exact same market, too close to "Red Hat" and everybody knows it's an intentional pun on "Red Hat." Red Hat has a damn good case for a trademark suit.
BTW, most of the Linux community was pissed when Red Flag came out, but had to admit they were legally capable of releasing it. Eric Raymond said,
"...any identification between the values of the open-source community and the repressive practices of Communism is nothing but a vicious and cynical fraud. [We] would not care to be associated with the totalitarian and murderous government of Communist China -- unrepentant perpetrators of numerous atrocities against its own people."That's your communist-loving Linux community.
