No. If you are handing them out then you should also be prepared to hand out source CDs to anybody who wants one. This is pretty easy really. At most trade shows this is accomplished by having a box on hand with a copy of the images and a CD burner. If anybody wants them they can be produced on demand. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
