Hi, Well,I am an engineering student from India. I am doing a project on TroubleShooting Linux and made this bootable Cd for me and my friends whoever need it. I just uploaded it on internet for reviews from my friends and others. I really dont aware so much about licensing and distribution. But since I have been using Linux(fedora) from last 2 years and got little knowledge about proprietary software (like Fedora doesnt give mp3 support).So whenever my friends ask why ?I said some license issues. So,if you can suggest a good solution for it,so please do it. Should I remove unlicensed proprietary software from the CD? or Should I delete it from source forge? or Something else? Regards, Devesh.
