Sort of. You CAN get/make non-US CDs and non-free CDs, but nobody in Debian is holding a gun to anyone's head to make them. I'm thinking most CD vendors don't want to sell you a pig in a poke, so ask when you look at buying: if they don't want to tell you what precisely is on the CDs, you probably don't want them anyhow. >have to use the internet sites?
