Here is our proposal for new discussion.
*Ship any media of openSUSE with open source software and proprietary software which allows redistribution (eg. firmware), for details [3].
*Add during installation automatically an online repo with the non-OSS stuff and install per default flashplayer (5MB) and the fluendo plug-in (210K) for mp3.
I generally like the proposal. But actually i would like to have a pop-up that "warns" the user before adding the non-OSS repo and installing the software. Some people might want to have a "clean" system, with a pop-up you can easily have that. I agree that many people don't care about the license, but some do. I'm not sure if it's smart to do this during the installation. If you are in a local network it's fine, but if you have to configure DSL, modem or WLAN first? Maybe it could be done during the first online update (again with a pop-up*) or have an icon on the desktop. But thats just how it could work technical ... *yes, everybody loves pop-ups -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch@suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
