[osol-discuss] [osol-mktg] Upcoming Anniversary Activities for OpenSolaris User Groups

[Stephen Lau]

Is there anyway to get the redistribution clause relaxed?  It seems 
counterintuitive to me that we're attempting to build a community here 
and encouraging people to evangelise OpenSolaris -- and then restricting 
people from burning and distributing Solaris Express CDs/DVDs.

cheers,
steve
