Even though iso's are not publically available, the entire release tree of 9.2 
has been on the mirrors since Club members got their access.  Anybody with a 
broadband can do an ftp install at any time.  Linux format probably just 
downloaded the entire tree and had a dvd of it produced for distribution.  
This is entirelly legal without an agreement from MandrakeSoft, because all 
of the download edition is released under the GPL, although they may have 
one.
