Precisely.  And if you re-read what Ransome said, he never said that
redistribution would be prohibited.  He can't, and he knows it.
According to both the quoted article and a previous one, ALL source
for programs which make up UnitedLinux will be provided in accordance
with the terms of the GPL.  There is, at this time, no reason to
believe there will be any proprietary bits of that which is called
UnitedLinux for which no source is distributed.  You are not
prohibited from redistributing those bits, only from calling the
result UnitedLinux.

Remember: UnitedLinux is only a base, agreed upon by several vendors,
on top of which vendor-specific pieces will be added.  The goal of
this project is to provide the industry with a uniform base against
which to develop, so that YOU, the user, don't have compatibility
problems with those vendor-developed applications.
