Err, wrong on both counts.  Red Hat Linux has a compilation copyright
that doesn't annoy people.  Here is the top of the "COPYING" file at
the top level of every RHL CD:

*****************************************************************************
The following copyright applies to the Red Hat Linux compilation and any 
portions of Red Hat Linux/Intel it does not conflict with. Whenever this
policy does conflict with the copyright of any individual portion of Red Hat 
Linux, it does not apply.
