Hello all,
I would like to create a package for szip, a compression software to be used by hdf4/5 and netcdf. I know that it is free for non-comercial use. Also, Fedora used to have this package in the past, but removed it from their repositories.
I'm not sure what the OpenSuse policies are on this matter. Therefore I'm copying the license below. Thank you all for the attention.
openSUSE allows only packages with an OSI approved license (www.opensource.org/licenses) in the Build Service - anything else is excpetional and will only be handled in the non-oss repository. I'm not a lawyer but I think that the license you appended is not OSI approved since it restricts it's usage, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
