Actually, I think I just smoked enough good dope to have a theory as to what you mean- As in Assert_is_this_binary_trademarklaw_legal_to_ship(dirpath path_to_iso_or_rpm) If that is what you meant, then my answer is if redhat and other trademark holders want to define and provide me such a function, I'll gladly take a look at it, and if it seems reasonable, hook it into my build process. If they don't, I'll just do as I presume CentOS and ScientificLinux have been doing, and just make a good faith best reasonable effort. aka 'winging it'. -dmc
