It is not legal.

However, the law is changing real fast by now, and Europe and the USA are

This is not really free [for example, we pay royalties for each printed
CD].

For the moment our politics are to limit as much as possible the amount of
non open-source stuff on main installation CD [which is, now, CD
Installation and CD Extension]
