Commercial Distro With Copyrighted Graphics and Sound
Hello
I want to ask about combining GPL and Copyrighted Graphics/Audio on a commercial Linux Distro.
AFAIK the vendor should provide the source code and the modified code on the distro CD/DVD.
What about Copyrighted Graphics and Audio files?
Can the vendor replace the Graphics files with Tux symbols and audio files with non copyrighted music on the source code DVD?
Thank you.
