My understanding is that the GPL applies to object code aside from
source-access obligations. Suppose I bought let's say 'install
package' from Red Hat and want to help my neighbour by simply giving
him a copy of that stuff or say a copy of a VM image with RHEL
installed and running so to speak. Note there is absolutely no
confusion that this is really really original Red Hat stuff (not
something made by some other entity) so I don't quite understand why
should I need a trademark license... hope this clarifies what I mean
(suppose also that no Red Hat services will be used by neighbour).
