I plan to distribute Cygwin free of charge to several thousands local schools, universities, user groups, research/scientific institute, magazine etc. There are 5 ISO CD (600 Mb): 2 binary and 3 source code. Is it possible to distribute only 2 binary CD and the users can download the 3 source code CD from bittorrent/local FTP/mirrors? This will save the production and shipment cost. Is this possible/legal? Thank you. _____________________________________________________________ = You want FREE web-based email ? = You want your own @qon.lao.net address?? = Then you want LaoNet's WebMail ! = Get it at http://webmail.lao.net !!
