I do not care what any lawyer has to say on this topic, because this
is not a legal question.
Absolutely everyone reading this, including you, knows full well that
the intent of the GPL -- indeed, its entire purpose -- is to enable
precisely the kind of effort performed by the Scientific Linux
maintainers _without undue burden_.
If some shyster finds some nuanced loophole that allows his employer
to thwart this purpose, that says a lot more about the shyster and the
employer than it does about the GPL.
