    Bonjour,

    Tu indiques que ta distribution contient Skype et Avast!. Est-ce que tu es sûr d'avoir le droit de les distribuer dans ta distribution ?

    Je m'explique, voici des extraits des conditions de distribution de Skype et Avast! :


    Skype (http://www.skype.com/company/legal/promote/distributionterms(...))

    If You want to make use of the possibility to distribute the Skype Software in a CD-ROM, DVD or other similar physical media, You will have to send an email containing Your name, address, phone number and email address to distribution@skype.net, stating Your intentions to distribute the Skype Software and defining the applicable media. By sending such email, You explicitly agree to be bound by the Distribution Terms below as well as any renewed versions thereof, as will be published on the Skype Website or as may be otherwise notified to You by Skype. In the event Skype has not received such email, You will not be allowed to distribute the Skype Software. Skype reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to deny your request to distribute. In this event, you will be notified via email response within 30 days of receipt of your email.
    J'espère que tu as envoyé ce mail et reçu une réponse, sinon, tu n'as pas le droit de diffuser Skype.

    1.3 You will not distribute other products or services together with Skype Software, unless You are a publisher of computer magazines for end users and distribute the Skype Software with Your magazine(s) for free.
    Tu distribue Skype avec d'autres logiciels dans ta distribution, donc tu ne respecte pas cette clause.

    1.4 You will not distribute Skype Software through other media than CD-ROM or DVD, unless approved by Skype in an explicit written communication to You.
    1.5 You will acknowledge that the provisions of the Agreement must be agreed to by all end users who install the Skype Software that You distribute.
    Tu dois donc présenter la licence de Skype à chaque installation, et t'assurer que l'utilisateur l'a bien lue.

    1.9 You will at any and all times clearly indicate that the Skype Software originates from Skype by marking the words “Includes Skype Software” on the packaging material and/or on the distributed physical medium, and will at any time comply with all further instructions provided by Skype for the distribution of the Skype Software.
    Je n'ai pas du tout vu les mots “Includes Skype Software” sur ton site.



    Avast! (http://www.avast.com/fre/copyright.html)

    The Software is made available for download solely for use by end users according to the License Agreement. Any reproduction or redistribution of the Software not in accordance with the License Agreement is expressly prohibited by law, and may result in severe civil and criminal penalties. Violators will be prosecuted to the maximum extent possible.
    WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, COPYING OR REPRODUCTION OF THE SOFTWARE TO ANY OTHER SERVER OR LOCATION FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR REDISTRIBUTION IS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED, UNLESS SUCH REPRODUCTION OR REDISTRIBUTION IS EXPRESSLY PERMITTED BY THE LICENSE AGREEMENT ACCOMPANYING SUCH SOFTWARE.
    Bon, ça a l'air plutôt mal barré là...

    Donc, téléchargeons Avast!, et lisons l'EULA:
    Therefore you must
    treat the Software just as you would any other copyrighted
    material such as a book. In other words, you may not copy the
    Software or the Documentation except as set forth in the
    section 1 of this license agreement.

    Et dans la section 1 :
    You may:
    Install the Software in a single location on a hard disk or
    other storage device of up to the number of computers
    indicated in the license agreement.
    [...]
    Make one backup copy of the Software, provided your backup
    copy is not installed or used on any computer.
    Et aucune indication de possibilité de redistribution. Tu n'est donc pas autorisé à redistribuer Avast!.
