I have heard this but what sort of licence is claimed for copying it and giving it away?



There are no restrictions on that. All they ask is that you don't make money on the contents.

Hmmm... a "sort of" reasonable request but it does go against the GPL and The Open Source definition.
(see http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php )



IMO Mandrake should concentrate on selling support instead of copies of software.
