Not breaking any rules here. I'd consult the FreeBSD License Agreement, and the GNU GPL Version 2 for more information. I don't remember the specifics, but when selling GPL Materials, I don't think you're allowed to charge an unreasonable fee for just the media. If you are packaging printed manuals or selling the product with technical support, you can charge whatever you want for that. This is how Red Hat operates. The BSD license is extremely flexible though, and I think it's requirements are much less stringent than the GPL. Here are some handy URLs for more research: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/copyright.html -----Original Message----- From: jamescarr1984 [mailto:jamescarr1984@ntlworld.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 1:29 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: rules I am setting up a small company which downloads linux/unix distributions, burns them onto cd and sells copies at a small fee. Is this legal to do, am I braking any rules or policies? What we are aiming to save time and aid frustration for users who only have dial-up access. Thank-you for you time. James.
