Use of the term Official Debian CD
With the growth of Linux, we are getting a number of new vendors.
This has prompted me to create a new web page with information
for CD vendors. Most of it is cut and dry - except for the use
of the term Official Debian CD.
Did we make a final decision about when the term can be used?
Here is the proposed text based on what I believe our policy is:
<li>Produce your own custom CDs. This requires you have a local copy of
the Debian archive. Creating custom disks is not difficult, but it is the
vendors responsibility to test the disks before shipping. There have been
problems in the past with vendors selling customized CDs which are not up
to Debian's standards. For this reason, use of the term 'Official Debian CD'
is reserved for those who sell disks made from the Official Debian CD Images.
Note: this comes after the options 'Become a reseller' and 'Produce
CDs based on the Official Debian CD Images'.
