As it is under the creative commons license it would be those terms that would limit what you can and cannot do. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/legalcode You are free to make derivative works, however it requires you to release under the creative commons license any such works. So whether repackaging it is deemed to be a derrative work or not you are free to do that. If its not deemed a derrative work then there wouldnt be a problem either. Repackaging shouldnt really be covered as derrative work anyway because it doesnt change the content which is what is protected, not the packaging method. So long as the content is 100% the same you dont have to do anything, but if you do change the content (adding, removing, correcting, etc) then you have to rerelease it as creative commons, which it sounds like you wanted to keep it the same anyway so that isnt an issue. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
