Re: debianHELP.org announcing commercial software?

2002-11-09 Thread Ben Collins
Good point. But if we want to compare debianhelp.org announcing a non-free package and debian.org distributing a non-free package, it doesn't make much sense. To me there's a clear distinction on which one does more potential damage to free software. Then you should have an announce

1. If I wish to copy my Debian CDs which I purchased from Linux Mall may they be distributed at the meeting ? Of course. That's what free software is all about. 2. May I charge a nominal amount ($5 - $10) to cover my costs of time and materials for producing the CD ROMs ? Of course.
