This is ridiculous. According to this item (via elearnspace), CD copiers declined to create copies of Linux distributions because of copyright agreements. The excuse offered was that the SCO case created an issue. Then it was argued that the owner of the CDs could not prove they had the rights. Both excuses are, of course, flimsy. The real reason surfaces: Microsoft has signed "no compete" causes with the copiers, prohibiting them from copying Linux distributions. To those of you in Microsoft who told me, to my face, that Microsoft has changed, I can only laugh.
