Default wanna know about licensing

Hi!

I wanna know can we distribute OSS software or software under GNU like Open Office, VLC etc as giveaway in a DVD to lets say all those people who subscribe to my club . we won't charge for the DVD but for membership. Do we need any kind of license to do that or any restriction or rules to be followed.

you can use GNU, but your members will be free to distribute it to anyone.

Feel free to distribute. You can even charge for the media
You are only obliged to give links to the source code if you are asked. I rather doubt you would, but just in case.
