Really I think almost everyone that contributed to this thread would rather shut up than have someone take the quote out of context and have it sound as though they were not "pro-mandrake", but I also believe everyone that I have seen contribute to _this_ thread, so far, has already _earned_ the right to speak their mind on this subject, haywire excluded <g> due to lack of mind, not lack of earned right. So, that said, I am willing to take input (off list) from anyone with contacts or ideas, regarding the ability to distribute and print CDs and make sales to the major distributors in the USA of retail software, and even if I don't respond to your input, I welcome and promise to read it. I want it made clear that nothing will happen without the consent of Mandrakesoft, even though I know I can take the GPL version and do just as cheepbytes does, and that whatever (if anything) does come of it, it will be to AID Mandrakesoft.
