I guess I can kind of see their point - I think (but don' t KNOW, so don't
flame me..) that a person can buy study books for the MCSE that have the
exact test questions in them, and I think RedHat is trying to avoid that...

When I came to work for my current employer, they wanted me to sign a
document that basically said that anything I did with computers while I was
their employee belonged to them..  I made them change it to "relating to
work performed for the company", which took quite awhile and a lawyer or
two.  But I had them where I wanted them, because they had a big project on
their plate with me being their only hope of staffing it...
