Thank you for your post, offering or wanting copied material. We need to be sure that it does not infringe copyright law.

Software, videos, DVDs, music CDs, cassettes and books offered on Freegle should be original.

In particular, software must not be a burned copy. It must have the serial number with it and have been removed from its original computer system. In the case of an operating system, it should also have the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with it.
