Natrually if you were charging then you'd start paying. And maybe that wouldn't work well making this whole idea useless. >> And people who download ISO's to sell should be paying a LOT.

I find it annoying that I can download an ISO and turn around and sell it and not have to give 1 monetary unit to Debian. I don't think it's reasonable. Maybe everybody else does, in which case the argument is finished and I'll go write a check :-) Oh and I'll file a bug report for good measure.

Even if some sort of scheme could be worked out on the monetary side, the task of deciding who gets what to do what is very non-trivial. Brian
