It's not. CCL is fine for contributed docs and artwork. Everyone seems to do it. There's no license issue. But the question is, do the people who decide what goes in the distribution (on the CDs so to speak) want such a thing. I'm not one of them, but I think it's not a bad idea to have some media for testing and promotional purposes. I'm not sure who he should ask if they want that; releng@ ? On installation CDs space is always tight though, and you probably don't want something like this to go stale for months on end. Before you'd know it there may be so many people offering media that after CD space, bandwidth may become an issue. A contrib-media port or something alike with RESTRICTED set is something that could be made by anyone at anytime of course. Dan
