Do you think everything distributed with FreeBSD is BSDL, Subhro? It's not.
CCL is fine for contributed docs and artwork. Everyone seems to do it.
There's no license issue.
But the question is, do the people who decide what goes in the distribution
(on the CDs so to speak) want such a thing. I'm not one of them, but I think
it's not a bad idea to have some media for testing and promotional purposes.
I'm not sure who he should ask if they want that; releng@ ?
On installation CDs space is always tight though, and you probably don't want
something like this to go stale for months on end. Before you'd know it there
may be so many people offering media that after CD space, bandwidth may
become an issue. A contrib-media port or something alike with RESTRICTED set
is something that could be made by anyone at anytime of course.
