As a rejoinder to my earlier post, I realized I have a few more queries...
Although Linux itself is open source and freely distributable, what about
the distros ? If someone copies the CDs of any given commercially available
Distro is he/she/it committing an act of software piracy. Now this may SEEM
rather paradoxical but what does the legal agreement which accompanies the
distros actually say ? Can anyone clarify this point ? This would assume
significance in the event that ILUG Cal setup it own library/pool of the
more popular distros for circulation among our members as copies ( since I
am SURE the owners of the originals would like to cherish them in pristine
state ! ) and later even a wider community of PC users to popularize Linux
in our City.
