US - Non US difference.
Hi, Let me introduce myself as the founder of Linux.Mejokj.com - a site which distributes cheap linux cds. I have got a questions for which I was not able to find the exact answer from any where else(even from debian.org). Guess that this is the best place to ask it. 1. What's the exact difference between Us & Non_us cd ? 2. Does Non_Us cds contains all the packages that US one has? When I asked someone else , the reply I got was: --- Selling/distributing a US CD here in India is (and always was) perfectly legal,but was pointless, since the non-US CD had all the same stuff, plus more. There are also US copyright/patent issues, but the consequences of these issues are the same: non-US CD = US CD + extra goodies - Is the above statement true?? 3. I have both the cds with me now. Is it legal to distribute both in India? Regards, Mejo http://linux.mejokj.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have read it 100 times and tried to contact all the people I could
think of helping me. This is what I send earlier to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I am the maintainer of http://linux.mejokj.com which distributes cds of
Linux distributions -INCLUDING DEBIAN, of course and Open Source
Software in India. This is my third mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking
them if it is possible to list me in the Debian cd vendors page(
http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/ ) and I haven't got a response from
them yet. Infact, there's just one cd vendor in India listed and they
are selling Hurd based cds only, which is difficult to install for an
average user. I tried sending a mail to them but it bounced back.
Thanks and regards,
Mejo

Some of the links of cd vendors page are broken and some emails bounce back. I think that the cd vendors page is completely unmaintained(because of any above mentioned problems). If your policy allows, I can maintain the page by checking the links regularly, and adding new vendors as required. Please let me know how else I can help Debian.
