Well, mostly because I lacked of time in the last few weeks before
LinuxTag, though.

Currently I'm in Munich, giving an administration class, with no access
to sufficient bandwidth to upload the full CD to a mirror. But my plan
is to integrate KDE3.0 and a new patchlevel of openoffice as soon as
they are available, around midst of July, for the next downloadble
version of Knoppix (which we may call 3.1 then).
Additionally, I got a lot of feedback and cranky hardware bug reports
on LinuxTag, some of which already have workarounds that should be
implemented soon for the next release. I need some time for this, though.

The LinuxTag edition was a contract work for BSI, the german Bundesamt
für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik. It is still GPL, but the BSI
logo (cover, bootscreen, documentation on the CD) is of course legally
protected for BSI, so there could be a problem if the CD is modified or
commercially sold somewhere else with their logo still present. I myself
would prefer to only distribute the next release (with the Knoppix logo
replaced) publically, but if anyone of you wants to offer the genuine
LinuxTag version for download, that's OK with me.

I can send you a copy if you send me a stamped return envelope, no
problem. But this specific version is not to be sold anywhere.

Yes, as long as modified versions do not contain the BSI logo.

Hmm... I don't remember such a discussion, but maybe I did not catch up
on all my mail yet, during the past 4 weeks around LinuxTag. ;-)
