Very true Kiran,
What the user does with the cd for the period it is loaned to him is none of our business. We shouldn't get into burning cd's and make the same mandatory for the person leasing these cd's out for a fee.....Unless he/she is ready to take up the additional onus of offering the same as a charged service.
A basic FSF-OS library should be free anyway. But for this to happen all across the city Luggers have to speak up. Numbers on this mailing list are amazing....but when it comes to taking part it dwindles down(Than includes me too..;)).

Hi, If a writer can be arranged for, you can think of charging additional and let the person copy the desired distro. Comment on this for any other implications.
I have some old distributions (from the period of Slackware 2). I can make those available for copying and then keeping in the library. Let me know if they are required. Not sure what they would be useful for...
