I am trying to think of new ways to hand out linux to people who otherwise can not download it from the net. Is it legal to stand on a street corner and hand them out like flyers?

Interesting question that may have 2 parts:

1. Handing our Linux CD’s should be ok per the GPL

http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html

2. Standing on the street corner and handing them out:

Check to see if your city allows such thing.

This guy out in Austin Texas did something very similar, he stood in an intersection with a sign and box full of Linux cds. The end result: he got some cash, cigarettes and phone numbers.

Thank you for trying to make the red pill accessible to more people!
