Excellent, that will clarify. > And the DVD versions for download include binary stuff by default. Ah, ok, so there will be - - one 100% OSS version in 5 CDs + an optional 6th CD with the non-OSS stuff - - a DVD that includes all of the above - - the boxed set that adds some evaluations of commercial software (as compared to the DVD above) ?
