--- Comment #8 from Eduardo Chappa
Re-Alpine would probably be going forward if there was not this license-or-not blocker going around in circles. We may be allowed to distribute the patches, but what about rediffing to resolve conflicts, and ultimately, integration?
Since I am not a lawyer, i fail to see the problem here. If your patches cause conflict with mine, or if mine are causing conflicts among themselves, you are free to write a patch to fix those conflicts, and if you need my help I am happy to help you. I have lots of experience doing that. I patch so frequently, that I "automated" this process, and in particular I have a patch to remove conflicts between patches. If you have that problem, that idea might help you.
Because even if people were allowed to redistribute, what license would the binaries containing said patch be under?
If you need a name for a license, I do not have it. I am not an expert in these things. I apologize if this causes you any trouble. -- Eduardo -- 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.
