IN NOTICE: eBay Listing(s) Removed - Unauthorized Copies

[Zscoundrel]

Check your license and make sure that you actually DO have the right to 
sell this copy, but I suspect that this was just an over reaction on 
eBay's part.

It is easy to understand their position though.  M$ and their thugs are 
so ugly to deal with that eBay will not take a chance of running up 
against them.  It is awfully expensive when that big dog barks!

The automated scannner probably saw 'CD' and '3.1' and assumed it might 
be protected software and kicked you out.  Write to them and explain 
that this is open source software and  send them a link to the license 
on Knoppix's web site.

Note:  I am assuming that everything is on the up and up here and that 
this ISN'T the result of a FUD campaign from our dear friends in Redmond.
