Yes, then, it would be good if Mageia had a policy regarding the burning 
of discs. However, let's remember that a user asking for a DVD due to 
his not being able to download from the Mageia site is asking for help 
to download the Mageia product from the Mageia site. She/He could in 
essence be given a computer a the Community (headquarters) and he/she 
could download and burn the ISO. There would be no need for a policy in 
this case.

Now if a member of the Community did the same, would this be in the name 
of the Mageia group.

I can see where the Community "mass" produced the discs and started 
passing them to complete strangers who had no idea of Mageia, well, then 
there should be a policy about the burning and of the community involvement.
