How useable that source is another question. ie. providing it on paper would satisfy the GPL as far as I know. Fortunately, I've not heard of any company trying to abuse the GPL like that.
I have, believe me, they are out there, I have the proof of an obfuscated kernel driver that was sent to me as a printout a long time ago.
Fortunatly, SUSE is not such a company.
Full ACK. Well, why should SUSE - Providing src rpms also drills down support costs, as partners etc. have the possibility to rebuild/patch rpms also in SLES, which in return makes the distro better after all. Printing out all code of a few thousand of packages consisting of millions of lines of code would for sure not be a good idea in terms of "green IT" as well... And SUSE _is_ green as we all know ... :) - mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
