Distribution is mentioned explicitly as secondary infringement of
copyright in UK legislation (Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988
as amended, s23).  There's also Section 18: Infringement by issue of
copies to the public; and Section 20: Infringement by communication to
the public.

Please give references that illustrate the scope of opinions stated
here.  Sadly, debian cannot always rely on US law, can it?

Thanks,
