My understanding is that yes, under the GPL you are allowed to charge for distribution of free software. I personally would consider it fraud if you did not obviously show that you can acquire all of this for free on http://archlinux.org though. I really don't want someone being tricked into purchasing archlinux thinking they can't get it for free. I guess the key here is that as long as you clearly label it "ArchLinux", then it should be clear they can download it as well. // codemac -- . : [ + carpe diem totus tuus + ] : . _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
