TeX Live 5, the end game

[Karl Berry]

    its Art's master plan to make TUG's CD worth more, isnt it?

When I asked, Art said he unfortunately won't have time to pursue that
for this release.

    TUG could also of course put non-free software on the CD like
    Ghostscript 6, winedt, CMacTeX, french etc if it wanted

I would strongly oppose that.

    quite. i hope its clear that I am not going to do any of this....

It's clear.
