I am NOT a FreeBSD official, so please wait and see if anyone contradicts what I say. To the best of my knowledge you are free to redistribute the FreeBSD ISO images. They contain the copyright notices (many times), and you don't need at add anything. Obviously you shouldn't try and claim that you are the author! There is no limit on the number of copies you can distribute - after all, these images are available on many public FTP servers. The additional CDs that you get with a boxed set are NOT for redistribution, although everything on them is available on the FTP sites - just not as an ISO image. Welcome to FreeBSD - try and spread it around Queen's as much as you can! _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
