Re: [LUG] Giving away copies of Ubuntu & OpenDisc on Freecycle

2009/5/6 Rob Beard <rob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi folks,

I'm a member of the Torbay & South Devon Freecycle list and I noticed
recently there has been a request from someone for a Windows XP Disc &
license key. Now I have the feeling that they have not much chance of
getting XP unless someone is willing to give away a retail boxed copy
(these are the only ones where the licence is transferable to another
machine).

Now I was thinking, would it be okay to give away some Ubuntu & OpenDisc
CDs on Freecycle?

What I'd like to do is promote the LUG and maybe offer a free install of
Ubuntu to anyone who is interested but I have a feeling that'll be
against the terms and conditions. Just wondered if anyone had any
thoughts on this as from what I understand there are over 4000 people on
the Freecycle list for Torbay and South Devon alone and I'm sure a few
of those might be interested.

There are 2000 members in my freecycle group - Tavistock - that covers West Devon. I would happily post the message but, could not offer the support. I know the moderator personally so, don't think there would be any probs.
