Hello,
could we know why RealPlayer was dropped from openSUSE? Are there legal reasons behind this, or it is just an arbitrary decision to reduce the number of packages?
Would have to pay to distribute newer versions of RealPlayer, that is, of course, a no go.
I don't think there is a cost: 2. What are the requirements for distributing the RealPlayer or RealJukebox on my CD? Complete the on-line registration form, agree to the terms in the license agreement and submit your registration. Once your registration is approved you will be given the location where you can download a RealPlayer/RealJukebox specifically for distribution. Granting of a license to distribute the RealPlayer/RealJukebox is subject to RealNetworks' approval for quality assurance and appropriateness of material and software bundle. Granting of a license is also subject to all United States laws and trade policies. 3. How much does it cost to distribute the RealPlayer/RealJukebox on my CD? Distributing the RealPlayer is free for Windows, Mac and available Unix platforms. That's from: http://www.real.com/licensing/faq.html But you do have to sign up for a license to distribute. On another note, I am glad Novell dropped them, but I also think they should have mentioned it on news.opensuse.org, on the mailing list or somewhere, also giving the reason why. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
