Re: Re: [opensuse] redistributing opensuse openoffice package
I do not think is the same question. That question is about using the OpenSuSE in a presentation. Mine is to distribute OpenSuSE version of OpenOffice with the OpenSuSE logo in. That is, not touching the rpm pacakge, but distributing it in another linux distribution. If this is not possible, it means that each time you want to make a forked distro based on OpenSuSE, or a customized OpenSuSE, you should look for all the OpenSuSE logos and removed them. That is something that can make people choose another distro as a base one. greetings, jordi ----------------------------------------------- Jordi Massaguer Pla openTrends Solucions i Sistemes phone: +34 93 320 84 14 fax: +34 93 300 35 27 jordi.massaguer@opentrends.net

Hi,
I have a doubt about whether is legal to redistribute the opensuse openoffice packages, as it has opensuse logos on it. Can it be redistributed wihtout modifications? Should the opensuse logos be removed before redistributing it?
This question is still pending in https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=152051

It does not matter what you think but what is written there: "Michael, please add Licenese terms for the opensuse logo here, once decided." --- License terms for the logo are license terms, no matter what exactly you want to do.

Is this really the same? Or does one have to remove that stuff only when he does _modify_ the software? I am not a lawyer but I guess that if I have to remove it even when I don't modify anything then every mirror admin is performing illegal action.
