What is 'etc'? Can it be used on CD-ROMs of non-free or non-US?

Can it be used in a print advertisement? IMHO, the 'on a web page'
is unnecessary and forbids television, print, and other media. I'd

'advertise', not 'advertize' (no, this is not a british vs. american
thing, I spell it wrong often, too. :)
