My school is thinking of installing linux on some of the computers, and were wondering if it's legal to use linux for non-private usage. I really didn't get what they meant but something about linux only beeing free if your going to install for yourself and not for a whole school or corporation or whatever.
So I'm wondering if it's allowed to get fedora for about 10 compters at my school the legal way. I always thought linux was free for everyone?

Fedora information can be found at: http://fedora.redhat.com/

There are trademark and other restrictions if you plan on 'repackaging' for other purposes and or selling it - mostly GNU type restrictions.
But specifically to answer your question, you may install on as many of your school (or corporate) computers as you wish.
