      Looking more closely at the list of packages
      it still reveals that proprietory software is on the CD.
      
      Like 3270-common 3.2.17-2, xsnow  1.42-3 which are in Debian non-free.
      I suggest you check all packages regarding their Debian status.



Thanks for the feedback, please can you consider to write a note at the
http://www.ofset.org/wiki/index.php/FreeFreeduc each time you encounter
a non free related issue within freeduc-cd. Thanks!


      
      Additionally I suggest to be careful with the packages that have
      patent problems which are know to be exploited, like GIF (gimp-non-free)
      or encoders in xine or xanim.


Agree, however I will probably not remove the gimp-non-free package, althought
there is a patent related problem. The software in itself is free, don't you?
