Mandrake license :

Warning: Free Software may not necessarily be patent free, and some Free
Software included may be covered by patents in your country. For example, the
MP3 decoders included may require a licence for further usage (see
http://www.mp3licensing.com for more details). If you are unsure if a patent
may be applicable to you, check your local laws.

Keep in mind that Mandrake is a French company and patent software don't
apply in France.

Check the license of RHL :
http://ftp.rhnet.is/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/EULA

It's free OS. With java and/or flash we loose this GREAT benefit.
To gain this benefit we (and you) need to make some efforts (download
java, flash...).
