Good. That means things haven't changed since I first viewed the readme files and switched to Debian. I (and probably many of us) have likely used restricted software unwittingly in our work and thus violated the terms and conditions of usage. I noticed early on that whenever someone thought a Debian package should be moved to/from non-free it was discussed in this list. Another reason Debian is the best Linux. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the free SCO limited to personal use? I check the restrictions on anything in non-free before I use it. I don't want my equipment confiscated - something that could really happen to the business that runs on unlicensed software. > > Although I provide a free LDP mirror at wtop.com, I haven't included it on > > CD because I am not sure if I can. > > I don't know the LDP's licensing policy, but I think the HOWTOS and stuff > are in a Debian package. They are. If they aren't in the dwww menu, they should be. I really mentioned LDP as an example. I mirror it because the maintainer made it clear I may do so and provided a username/password for the master ftp site. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Paul Wade Greenbush Technologies Corporation + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.greenbush.com/ + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + http://www.greenbush.com/cds.html Special Linux CD offer + +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
