Phil,

   Would you consider licensing your files under something like the 
Free Documentation License <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt>, the 
Design Science License <http://www.dsl.org/copyleft/dsl.txt>, or the 
Open Publication License <http://opencontent.org/openpub/>?  All of 
these licenses are intended to keep anyone from taking your work and 
"proprietizing" it, but they are free in that they don't restrict anyone 
from downloading them.  Otherwise we'll have to get a specific release 
from you for the files since we have no way of determining what kind of 
use people who download our ISO will put it to.
