would it bet legal to make iso out of the cd/dvd and post it publically on the internet? i mean not all the stuff that is on those media is licensed under gpl, such as the knoppix logos and other stuff might need some permissions of the actual copyright holders...

or am i mistaken here?

of course knopper as the creator/publisher of knoppix has all the rights to release his knoppix as he choses to and to upload it to the internet, but if he first distributes it on cd/dvd media are we allowed to share it on the net before he choses to do it that way?

anyone knows the legal details?
