Freemedia Hat on.
Seeing the other thread where size limits have been spoken about: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-June/184345.html
Looking at: http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ Fedora-18-source-DVD.torrent 8.8GB Hazard a guess F19 will be similar. It's pushed the limit of single-side dual-layer DVD 8.5GB app, there is a cost involved for many to send\give away 16gb Sticks.
Could it be split over two std. 4.7 gb DVD, either officially, or give us in Freemedia a green light to split ourselves.

Do people download / use the SRPM DVDs rather then just download the ones they are interested in?

It does seem a tad...vestigial.

If you want to give away copies of the DVD with binaries, then under GPL you must offer the source similarly, or promise to maintain for 3 years a download site with the *CORRESPONDING* source. Your obligation ends three years sooner if you _offer_ the source on DVD at the same time as the binary. As soon as someone declines the source DVD, then you're off the hook.

Yes. I know that. But that's a boring legal technicality. We can perfectly well satisfy that by providing a 600GB image if we want to. This thread is about the case of someone who for some weird reason *actually wants to burn the stupid image to an actual form of media*. What I'm suggesting is that no-one has any good reason to do that any more.
(Our legal obligations may be discharged simply by the fact we keep the entire frozen tree, including SRPMs, for each release on the mirror, but that's an entirely different bikeshed and IANAL).

If they ask for it to accompany the mailed LiveMedia\DVD, they have to be mailed one.

It's the downloading bit that can be the problem.
