Today the 100% correct procedure is to download and copy the 1CD version as it 
allows redistribution. And that's why we'd like change the DVD slightly to 
allow exactly the redistribution for everyone.
We never had any of the software vendors going after somebody as all of them 
want to have their software in as many hands as possible (e.g. acroread) but 
for an user it would be good having a) an easy to read and understandable 
EULA and b) an EULA allowing redistribution.
