RE: Interested in selling retail freeBSD sets

2006-02-14 Thread Ted Mittelstaedt

The market would pay a lot more if some of these wanna be distributors
would
actually offer SUPPORT along with the FreeBSD CD.  That's what we really
want to see happening.

You are welcome to charge as much for FreeBSD as you like, actually.

Of course, you can't stop someone from downloading FreeBSD themselves  
for free (or for the cost of bandwidth, anyway), so in effect, people  
charge a reasonable amount for putting together a nice CD/jewel case  
because that's what the market is willing to pay for

Rene,

FreeBSD is what it says free. Please see
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/introduction.html

As I understand it, you are free to redistribute it provided that you do
not claim to have produced it nor charge for it. You can charge for
producing the CDs though.

You can obtain the iso images to produce the CDs from the FreeBSD site.

Rob
