As i could understand it, the GPL requires that the binary
distribution should be accompanied with a *written offer* of source
code availability. I am sure there is no such written offer present
anywhere right now and there has been a voilation.

Taking it off the topic, i believe the Ubuntu DVD is well suited for
indian homes atleast. And one has to remove RH branding anyways if its
going to be heavily modified.
I actually dont want to discourage anyone. All effort gone in the
making of PCQLinux was done in goodwill. But the fact is my neighbour
may get a bad impression of GNU/Linux distributions in general. They
trust PCQuest more than me.
