Chinese Internet cafes being forced to switch to Red Flag LINUX

[slush]

Hi, Im scared with these methods of Linux "marketing". I expect there is
something worse than national thinking. Are complete source codes of Red
Flag Linux available, so Internet cafes are able to compile it by self? If
yes, it should be quite easy (well, better, not impossible) to find major
differences between upstream and RFL.
