I will bring a couple of sets of Mandrake 10.1 Official CDs to the WLUG meeting tonight.

Which raises the thought of how many times the members only 4th cd is passed on by those who have brought a membership to download the 4 cd set ? Is there a lug policy on this, or do we leave it to the members, to follow the ethics guidelines ? As I recall it we are only supposed to distribute the 3 cd's of the official set unless the person is a member of the mandrake club. If anyone is a club member and and clarify this it would be good to know what the rules/guidelines are. After all we need to respect companies when using open source too. (last thing we need is a reporter showing up and talking about how we steal software from other companies.) Better they realise we respect peoples property rights. Remember when you had to buy SUSE, but then you could copy and distribute what you had brought, But you couldn't post it to the net ... Now that was a weird method of Distribution, Nice to see that one brought into the 21st century at last. Roderick Aldridge wrote:
