<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Personally I optimistically think that Red Hat would be willing to just hand over updateinfo.xml to the CentOS project, especially since “Red Hat + CentOS” happened (<a href="http://community.redhat.com/centos-faq/">http://community.redhat.com/centos-faq/</a>),
but the people on the CentOS list are not as optimistic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If anybody can speak into this it would be very helpful, because if we can resolve the legal question and get errata in CentOS then I think it would benefit not only the CentOS project but the whole Red Hat family as
well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
