As far as I know, Red Hat is discontinuing support for all 'personal'
distributions prior to 9 (8, 7.3, 7.2, 7.1...) in December 2003.

Support for their more expensive distributions will be available longer.

I have no idea what the license differences are between their distribution
versions.

We're contemplating offering updates to Red Hat 8 and 7.3 after Red Hat End
Of Life. So, you're welcome to switch to KRUD.
