Description of problem: There exists no file on the top level of the CD-ROMs or DVDs to indicate where source code may be obtained if it's not already on the CD/DVD media you're holding. At LinuxWorldExpo in Boston, Feb 2005, a representative of the FSF was a little bit hacked that the project was distributing free DVDs of FC3 which didn't have the source, nor a "written offer of source". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): <= FC4-test3 Additional info: How about something like this, in a top-level README.sources file to go on each bit of media? Source code for all components of Fedora Core is available for download from http://fedora.redhat.com. Copies of the distribution may also be available on physical media from vendors such as CheapBytes (http://www.cheapbytes.com) at a modest charge. The Fedora Project in no way endorses any media distributors. In the event source code for a component you desire is not available through one of the above means, you may send your request to fedora-list.
It shouldn't point to cheapbytes, it should just point to the list of vendors on the web site. Aside from that, seems OK.
Actually, I'm not even sure mentioning the vendors here makes sense... if you bought from the vendor, it's their responsibility. And if you downloaded it, you get it from where you downloaded it from. So I guess this mainly applies to freebie handouts, where the link to the download site should be sufficient.
Yes, it's the freebie handouts that were the problem. How's this? Can this get incorporated into -test4 or final? Source code for all components of Fedora Core is available for download from http://fedora.redhat.com. Copies of the distribution may also be available on physical media from vendors listed at that site, at a modest charge. In the event source code for a component you desire is not available through one of the above means, you may send your request to fedora-list.
