I wonder how they can distinguish hardware from software. I've been saying for years that most of the distinction people make today in an illusion.

Technically, a Debian CD is hardware. Am I covered by this exemption for creating and distributing Debian CDs? What about a DVD player that does what it does only because of program code in a ROM chip inside it?
