No, you can use CentOS or Scientific Linux to run the code without violating the 
license. For personal use, or on a single system, there's little to choose 
between them, CentOS is better known, SL is the software support group for the 
SuperCollider, has a few tweaks useful if you want your own version of something 
on a few machines of many, and still want updates to work. I type this on a 
SL-6.x running in a VM, nice setup to avoid cost of porting from FC6 to current 
tech.
