One question in my customizing

[akibaleon]

First of all,i should apololigize for my poor english lol.

I am try custmizing Chinese(simplified code) knoppix which is based on KNOPPIX_V3.6-2004-08-16-EN.iso . when I almost done.i found out there is some non-free package has been installed in KNOPPIX_V3.6-2004-08-16-EN.iso before,such as Package: 3270-common and so on.
Maybe I was no necessary about it,but I also wanna ask the users here, if I put my customized version on Internet,is it allowed in law??

waiting for your answer,thx a lot

Your English is fine, I would guess that for most people in these forums English is not their native language.

Check the licenses for each package you include. As long as the packages are distributed under an Open Source license (check the OSF site), you should be OK. Laws change a lot from country to country, so you might need to do some basic research. Sometimes it is illegal/forbidden to distribute, but not to install and use.

Very appreciated to your advice.i decided delete the non-free packages to avoid possible problems in law.
