gns_uaWell, a PNAELV is a Prominent North American Enterprise Linux Vendor.
The CentOS rebuild project is a community of volunteers who assemble the Source RPMs from another PNAELV and remove all trademarks, etc., to avoid confusion.
The CentOS volunteers also add some functionality to use the yum package updater tool instead of one which that other PNAELV has NOT (nor are they obligated to) released a complete specification or source code implementation. That other PNAELV calls their product and service up2date and RHN, which they charge for on a time-interval and per-host subscription model. Pricely.
