Nobody (Linux Walt ALT)@bthall I don’t think there is a clear legal / illegal about most VM images for FOSS operating systems. Certainly, if you were making Windows or MacOSX images, you’d likely be violating the companies’ copyright restrictions. But it is _not_ clear that distributing Ubuntu images does so, given the four freedoms requirement.
That said, there are security concerns about downloading images instead of installing from scratch.
