I decided to write this review to provide a quick inside to the new Linspire 5.0 released on March 15th, 2005. The review will determine the use of Linspire 5.0 in a SOHO (Small Office Home Office) Environment. The download was free for me since I'm a current CNR subscriber. UPDATE: Another Linspire review, and the Linspire 5.0 Live CD is now available for free download.

So you do not see the part about "all third parties"! Read the GPL FAQ where it states that a ftp site ALONE is not enought to satisfy requirement three. Read linspires own statement that any user can receive the source code by the SAME method they received the product! Read in the GPL where it states that esentially ANYONE who receives the program receives the source, not registered users, not forummembers! So are you stating that the GPL is trivial?
I personally do not know of any linux distro that doesnt make the source available on a cd? I know, suse, debian, mandrake, red u know what, and so forth all do. Making the source available to SOME is not complaince with the GPL. Making it available to the "target audience" is not compliance with the GPL.
There is more to this story but right now I do not want to go out on a limb until I give linspire a chance to respond to my email and explain what happened.......
Thanks for reading!
