The last sentence is a little convoluted, and I'm not sure I entirely understand it. http://www.linux123.co.uk/ does not provide sources from the webpage, but they could accompany the CD's with "a written offer, valid for at least three years . . ." (GPL, section 3b). It's also not particularly Debian's problem - it's upto someone whose GPL code is on that disk, which may include a Debian developer (what all is copyright SPI or Debian?), but may also be the FSF or Red Hat. Frankly, I wouldn't start any witch hunts until (a) someone has bought the disks and checked out that they aren't in compliance with the licenses and then (b) somebody has made a polite request for them to shape up. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http/ftp: dvdeug.net.dhis.org It was starting to rain on the night that they cried forever, It was blinding with snow on the night that they screamed goodbye. - Dio, "Rock and Roll Children"
