It's been my sad realisation that when it comes to software licensing
and this mailing list, nothing is definate, unless you write the
software yourself(and don't use any libraries), are a judge, or are
the Pope. Nobody on this list, can claim infallibility on software
licensing.

To be on the safe side, you're probably better off installing CentOS,
or better again Debian(sorry couldn't resist).
