Hmm. Jürgen, does really each and every package need to include the license/copyright file(s)? There are so many packages, which don't.
If you mean "each and every package owned by X.Org", as a special provision from the copyright owner, the distributor can distribute the license files in a separate package, provided that they are printable using a standard browser or reader, in a way that would allow a lawyer to read the printout. However, this provision does not and cannot extend to third party software packages, and, accordingly, it does not cover this case. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
