Dear Unixmedia,

By this I learn that you are marketing hot sposts was based on GNU/linux,
would be my great pleasure to learn if you put inside the package a copy of
the GNU General Public License Version 2 used by the linux kernel and if you
put even a copy of the operating system GNU/linux on cd/dvd.

Without it, you must provide to put on a http, ftp, cvs, svn, torrent
official GNU/linux distribution in use, it is always  better to put a
cd/dvd, and provides to give communications where is possible to download
the source code *.src and binary *.bin whic distribution are you using ?

If the distribution is on various http, ftp, cvs, svn, torrent, then there
is no problem, because obviously there is always that you tell where are the
sources and binaries, would be good that you put at least a link that points
to the distribution in use.

If however you have used a GNU/linux distribution and you've made your
changes and do not you are providing to distribute your changes, then it
could be judged as a violation of the GNU General Public License, which
requires that source code should be distributed,  it is not possible make
their software and market it without distributing the source code.

So please tell me what are your current positions in this regard.

I do not like then you are using the operating system GNU/linux "in line
with the anti-terrorist legislation and privacy. Ideal for accommodation
facilities and public places like hotels, bars, small / medium office."
Partly because my goal is to broaden the use of the operating system
GNU/linux not only academics, but demonstrate that "consistent with the
anti-terrorism laws and privacy, are a farce," it may be valid for Mac OS X
and Windows, but not it can be for the others Unix-like operating systems
that they make use of a log, which lists every single mac address to connect
to the network, and therefore there is no reason for having to follow the
law, which is now not even like more Pisanu! see:

The operating system GNU/linux as free software with its own ethics,
combating all forms of restrictions, restrictions which you are applying.

I hope you want to read this text, so  you will learn what the TELCO are
doing about Freedom of  Expression:

Freedom of expression on the Internet

European Parliament resolution on freedom of expression on the Internet

J.   whereas Chinese government has successfully persuaded companies such as
Yahoo, Google and Microsoft to facilitate the censorship of their services
in the Chinese internet market; also notes that other governments have
required the means for censorship from other companies;

K.   whereas equipment and technologies supplied by Western companies such
as CISCO Systems, Telecom Italia, Wanadoo, a subsidiary of France Telecom
have been used by governments for the purpose of censoring the Internet
preventing freedom of expression;

L.   whereas US legislators introduced a bill in February 2006, the Global
On-line Freedom Act, aimed at regulating the activities of Internet
businesses when they operate in repressive countries;

I hope you have put a http, ftp, cvs, svn, torrent on your server so that
any can download the distribution used for the hot spots, but if you have
made changes and you do not have distributed the source code, then you are
violating the GNU General Public License and so or you published the source
code or continue to violate the GNU General Public License, as long as the
Free Software Foundation does not learn the news.

If you are not using any modified version of any GNU/linux then you must
publish the URL on the homepage of reference where get sources and binaries
used for the hotspot, so you will not have problems for violation of the GNU
General Public License.

Pending your reply, I offer you my greetings,

Paolol Del Bene
