The FreeBSD CDs have a "copyright BSDi" on them.  I assume this 
means people can't just copy them.  That would be a violation of 
copyright.  However, they can do so with the ISO images.  After all, 
that's what they're there for isn't it?  Do the ISOs have a copyright on 
them?

So if someone burns an image from an ISO and sells that, there is no 
copyright violation.  But if someone creates an ISO from an official 
FreeBSD CD, and then burns a CD from that, they have violated 
copyright.

Correct?
