elektronist Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 İs it possible or legal to buy Mandrake Linux Boxed version and share copied CD's in a group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Well, its definitely possible. As for legality, im no lawyer, but the first three CDs are *almost* the same as the online ones, i wouldnt hesitate to copy them myself. As for the others, thats up to your conscience, you could copy them, it's probly not legal, but nothing thats going to get you put in the locker.

adamw Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Better read the license that comes in the box. I'm not sure the boxed version is freely redistributable, as it contains non-freely licensed stuff like third-party drivers, Acrobat Reader, Java, Flash etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 7. Can I distribute Commercial Products for free? No. Certain third party software, not governed by a free software license, is bundled with commercial products. Additionally, you may not use the Mandrakesoft name, trademarks and logos (which is our business responsibility to protect), without prior agreement. 17. I represent a business or organization which is interested in Mandrakelinux. Can I install a single Commercial Product on all of my machines? If you need to install Mandrakelinux on several units, we have a special program which offers attractive prices and premium access to cutting-edge solutions. With the « Personalized Solutions and Maintenance Program » (PSMP), you gain access to volume prices (one license per site), support, maintenance and updates.
