There's a discussion going on elsewhere as to whether you can buy a
Linux CD, install the system, and then give away the CD. Apparently
you can't do this with some distributors' CDs because they include
proprietary software as well as the free Linux stuff.
I assume that the Walnut Creek FreeBSD CD has no such problem. Can
someone from WC confirm this?
