Copyright information?

#1 Post by chrispop99 »

A Facebook user is asking about distributing a snapshot. Is there anywhere I can point him to that gives him copyright and other legal information?

TIA

It's on our Terms of Use page:
Anyone distributing a respin that we do not host ourselves must specify that it is a respin in the names of a website, ISO or download location. For example: mx-respin. Furthermore, it must be specified clearly somewhere that products are based on MX Linux but are not connected with it in any official way.

The name “MX Linux” may not be used as part of a respin-project’s website title or in the project’s iso/media without making clear that the it is not an official part of MX Linux.

All of the actual GPL et al. licenses information is/are found in /usr/share/doc too, in case the Facebook user needs those.
Please read the Forum Rules, How To Ask For Help, How to Break Your System and Don't Break Debian. Always include your full Quick System Info (QSI) with each and every new help request.
