So I won't get any more needless mail (though there are times it's
needful, so please don't anyone take that as a criticism), I pulled
this comment from a discussion on debian-devel@pixar.com, written by
L. Peter Deutsch, the man who is Aladdin Systems:

Though, say, Caldera would be in a bit of a spot, since they include
non-redistributable pieces in their distribution, Debian is just fine.
I do think there was the matter of sending him a copy of the CD-ROM,
but I'm at least keeping track of the authors whose stuff I've done
that have requested such, and once we have a Debian CD-ROM (other than
Bruce's writiables), I will be arranging to get copies for them.
Mike.
