Today, quite by chance learned of the next domestic distribution Linux. Some discouraging message posted on the download page:
On our FTP-server you will find the DVD-system image (1.6 GB), which can be recorded on DVD-ROM for installation.
After you install Linux XP Desktop, you will have a 30-day trial period to assess the comfort of the system and for making purchasing decisions.
After the 30-day period to continue to work with the system, you must enter a unique activation key that can be purchased by contacting one of our partners.
Moreover, that nowhere is there a word about that somewhere you can download the source code, so even a demo distribution is only a month and then demands money, that for Linux rather exotic.
How this model is consistent with the spirit of Linux and specifically - the concept of GPL - remains an open question. I was actually surprised user agreement, declaring consuming business owner exclusive rights to the entire distribution in general and its individual components:
1.1. “Copyright Owner” - Limited Liability TrastVers, BIN
1087746380776 ,…, being the holder of exclusive rights to
Software product.
…
1.3. “Software Product (” Operating System Linux XP Desktop 2008 “) - presented in the form of an objective set of data and commands destined for the operation of the Software Product and other computing devices in order to obtain a certain result, including the preparatory literature produced during the software development and audiovisual displays generated by them.
…
2.2. All provisions of this License Agreement apply both to the entire
product as a whole and its individual components.
