On checking out CentOS‘s website, I found a legal notice sent to them by the attorneys of a Local Linux Distribution Company, known here by the code name “Green Chapeau.” The part that caught my eye is this:
Moreover, our client does not allow others to provide links to our client’s web site without permission.
I understand how important it is to protect trademarks, but requiring permission for people to link to your website? Excuse me? And this company claims to be an “open source” software company?
