Re: [debian-knoppix] Knoppix Games legal limitations ?



What it says on the site is that it's only illegal to give to
kids uner 18, and only if you live in Germany (unless you're
willing to pay to have the games on the CD certified for kids).

This would especially be a problem if you intend to give the CD
to kids likely to turn you in to the authorities for giving tham
a CD full of games.

If you live in Germany then you probably understand the issues far
better than I do... There may be a distinction between distributing
(i.e. selling) and gifting.

If you live in Canada, on the other hand, this is not an issue.
(for BC distribution, you may have to classify it for age group).

If you live in the US, all bets are off. I dunno who re-elected bush,
but you've got to live with it.

Surly I would like to give it away to many people.
But martin says that this is illegal.
What are the legal restrictions on games knoppix?
Why can we not redistribute it?
