That's not quite true. You are explicitly forbidden from including
those recent versions in your product //without paying for them//.
If you want to work out a deal with the Ghostscript folks, you can.
This is a great example, by the way. Ghostscript is a non trivial project
and the people doing it are making their living from doing it. I'm sure
it is most annoying to RedHat that other people would like to collect some
money for the software that they write and actively support but RedHat
distributes, but while annoying, it is not unreasonable. No offense to
RedHat (or any of the other distributions) but it is quite unreasonable
that only the distributor make money. In the hardware/software world,
VARs take a 15-30% cut, not 100%.
