Similar to what ? You havent actually pointed out any
arrangement 
details that might be on offer.

As I have pointed out a couple of times already on this
thread, my aim 
of asking here was if anyone wanted to pursue this. I am not
looking for 
opinions or ideas to chase up. If you are indeed interested
in helping, 
then help, standing on the side lines and passing commentary
is not 
something I am ( or most people on this list ) interested
in.

I find you very difficult to deal with, and I don't want
that. Can we 
try to keep things calm?

There is an arrangement in place, but I don't know the
details. Probably 
a simple enquiry would find what's available now. It may
well be more 
relaxed than what was on offer last year. IBM has been
pressing Sun to 
open-source Java for years, I wouldn't expect any problem
from IBM.

I have no standing with the CentOS project, and I don't wish
to become a 
developer. I know myself well enough to understand that it's
not 
something I do well, even though a resume of my experience
might suggest 
otherwise.

None of that goes to say I cannot offer useful advice.
