to play on a box and the only thing I can find with google is the
knopsterisk.com site which wants $10 to get a copy and does not provide
(as far as I can tell) any free distribution access which is
his/hers/its/them/they/whatever right (being politically correct is
hard).

The GPL does allow the creator to charge a redistribution charge... it doesn't require free distribution (which would be a bit harsh for some projects - bandwidth isn't free, and CDs/Burners certainly aren't).


The CD may contain items of proprietary software - until recently SuSE was like this, and Redhat RHEL still is. In that case you can redistribute most of the contents of the CD but not the CD itself (ie. not a working copy, especially if the proprietary part is the installer). In that case your option is to strip the GPL parts and build a new distribution, wait for someone to do the same, or pay for a copy.

If it doesn't contain proprietary parts, and all its contents are freely licensed, just find someone who's paid for a copy and dupicate it/download it from them.
