IMHO RedHat as well as other Linux-Distributors doesn't sell its CDs for a
commercial purpose. They don't want to make profit out of it. The Distributors
make their profits by givin support.
I think you can't speak of a comercial purpose, if distributors like RedHat or
SuSE sell their CDs with a thick book for not more than 100$ (79DM its here in
Germany).
Also, you can download the whole Distribution for free if you want, or purchase
a copy with a computer-magazine (happens often here in Germany)
