As far as I know the GPL only require the source to be available on request. But I welcome the idea for other reasons. It would increase the amount of offline backup media for the source, and also make it easier to send "modifiable" CDs to countries with very bad Internet connections. > What do people think?

I'm not above bribery, name your price) Sounds good to me. I'm aware of two CD building tools at the moment. debian-cd and picax. There are probably more options available. debian-cd is the one we use at the moment, but it is getting harder and harder to maintain. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
