Yes and no, selling is illegal but distributing with the permission for free (media cost can be charged)is not.

Read the terms and conditions. Some software writers actually encourage this as it spreads their software! Read very carefully!

Depends on the Software license..not to mention the fact that no one is stupid enough to buy software they can get for free.

Why would you want to sell 'FREE' software? And who are the suckers who would buy that? I mean the fact that you're looking to sell them software means that they have computers, right? why don't they just get 'em themselves?

since they are free , it is legal to put it on cd but it is illegal to sell it , because the cds aren't original
