All,
It sounds like collectivly we have come up with a viable solution that should put any of the ebay sellers out of business. However, I think there are still a bunch of issues that need to be worked out before going forward.
Off the top of my head...
1. Who owns the forum material. LHR or the original poster. It is not defined in the forum guidelines and I've seen forums go both ways on that.
2. Do we assume that anything currently in the sharing gallery already has approval to be include on a forum sponsered cd or do we need to try to get written permission for all the posters who have sumbitted something.
3. I would love to see LHR incoude this with all new purchases, but so far they have not commented at all on the thread.
4. I have no problem burning an sending these out at cost, but I dont want to say I will do it for free becuase if we get 400 responses than suddenly I have to pony up several hundred dollars in materials and postage.
5. I am also willing to post an ISO image of the CD on my website so that anyone with broadband can download the entire collection directly.
6. We would need to include a text file containing terms and conditions for usage and distribution. GNU style lisences I'm sure wont be acceptable to most of you so we'll need to fashion our own.
Let me know your thoughts.
