But that's a boring legal technicality. We can perfectly well satisfy that by providing a 600GB image if we want to. This thread is about the case of someone who for some weird reason *actually wants to burn the stupid image to an actual form of media*. What I'm suggesting is that no-one has any good reason to do that any more. (Our legal obligations may be discharged simply by the fact we keep the entire frozen tree, including SRPMs, for each release on the mirror, but that's an entirely different bikeshed and IANAL). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
