They've provided something of value; an article introducing yum to
a wider audience that may not have used it before. Many thanks, Hans, not
only for printing the article but also for making it available as a
downloadable PDF from the web site.
They, just like the authors of yum and other pieces of software,
can choose any license they want for the contributions they're making.
Cheers,
- Bill
