I can't think of any distributers of knoppix offhand who would be affected one way or the other by such an offer. We've already established that Klaus Knopper is probably not in violation, it's the magazines with CDs glued to their covers and commercial retailers which are a more significant problem. Glancing at the sites linked from knoppix.net, I can't find any who say they will ship the relevant sources. Such things should, indeed, be sent to the FSF's GPL enforcement team, who will contact the offending distributers and explain how copyleft software works to them. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | Dept. of Computing, `. `' | Imperial College, `- -><- | London, UK
