If I am not mistaken, there are packages in non-free that cannot be distributed freely for commercial purposes. Therefore, people who are making and selling CD-ROMs of non-free are advised to check the copyright of each package they include to ensure that they are not violating it. (If anyone knows better, please correct me.) I don't have any examples handy, but I remember reading this in one of the list archives or in one of the manuals (maybe policy or developer's reference). Can someone else think of any? - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Darn this WebMail client which is very good except for its lack of support for changing the From: email address for a single message only! :-)
