[Bug 545977] New: do not release a separate cd & dvd for repo-oss and repo-non-oss
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=545977 Summary: do not release a separate cd & dvd for repo-oss and repo-non-oss Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Milestone 8 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Usability AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.10 (like Gecko) SUSE It is somewhat unhandy to have a separate repo-non-oss cd in addition to a repo-oss dvd as this was the case for the purchase version of OpenSuSE 11.1. Better either provide a singleton double sided dvd or perhaps even two dvds, one with the most important software for installation and one for less frequently used software.

From a legal perspective, putting non-oss packages on the retail DVD would mean

If no-one will ever copy the release DVD9 then those legal issues for the DVD-copy-ability simply will not apply; don`t we already agree? This is an assumption.
In the past we were contacted on numerous occasions by (e.g.) magazines wishing to distribute openSUSE but failing because of the proprietary software. I have explained the legal perspective above. Might I suggest that bugzilla is not the ideal forum for discussing this - I therefore suggest that you use FATE (features.opensuse.org) to make this request. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
