Expanded and exclusive Red Hat Enterprise Linux redistribution rights

Red Hat Partner Connect members can now use and freely redistribute any Red Hat Enterprise Linux user- space packages necessary to build their software (except the Linux kernel) . This expanded access to Red Hat Enterprise Linux user space nearly triples the number of packages available to Red Hat Partner Connect members as compared to Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI) content alone. 

Redistributing Red Hat Enterprise Linux user-space packages is an exclusive benefit for Red Hat Partner Connect members and requires Red Hat container certification.
