While the distribution of FreeBSD itself is not restricted, the actual layout of the WC CDROM's is copyright Walnut Creek. so I don't think any of them can be legally copied. I would just give people a URL to the disk1 ISO that is distributed on the ftp mirrors. If you roll your own release (via 'make release') you will end up with directories for CD's 1 and 2, minus the packages and the extra tools such as os-bs, view, etc. Those extra parts (os-bs, all the packages and everything on CD's 3 and 4) are work done solely by WC and are what makes their CD's unique, and that is why the CD's are copyrighted by WC. However, I'm not a big expert on this, and I would suggest asking someone who works at WC for more information. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
