 We can't really give you legal advice, but if I were you, I'd include

 installed along with the corresponding source code.

Ok, I will probably include a CD with the sources, because this is
going to be some kind of 'embedded' PC with a reduced (i.e. no typical
desktop) system and only a CF card and no hard disk or optical drive.

Computer with Debian preinstalled

2007-06-01 Thread Michael Bode
Hi,

I'm planning to sell PCs with a preinstalled Debian system. This in
itself should not be problematic, I guess. But do I have to handle
sources? GPL section 3 requires me to either include all sources of
the installed GPL binaries or give a written offer to ship the sources
on CD/DVD/whatever media. Is that correct, or is it ok to say 'look,
it's Debian on that machine, go to debian.org for the sources'?

What are other people who sell PCs with preinstalled Debian doing?

Thanks in advance.
