I didn't go much in details in the repsys doc boklm sent in the initial
message of this thread, but IIRC, it mentionned having a SVN repo for
SOURCES-bin

Using their free software is ok, but using it by keeping their brand
is probably not.

Agreed

</I>
I think that Hearst was more concerned about the company and product
names (as well as images), it was probably not very cost-effective for
them to push too much in details.
But in our case, we are operating in the same market as Mandriva, and
they could get very picky.
