I can speak for what is valid in the U.S., Canada (any any other country) is a
different ball of wax.

In the U.S. CD Rom gives you the Media.  You must still by some type of 
"support" to be able to legally apply it.  "Right-to-copy" gives you the right
to make a single copy the MEDIA or a subset thereof.

I.E. you need some level of support for each NODE. Self-maintenance is in the
catalogs and you may be able to get a quote on it.

The problem is that Digital is going through a re-org and may be internally
confused on this/these issues.  DECUS (U.S.) has at least two (2) groups 
interested in this issue, you may want to get involved with them.  They are
the Business Practices (BP) UIG and the Third Providers Party (3P) SIG.  You 
can send mail to the following person if you are interested in working in this
area:
