that sounds exactly right to me. it's nothing to do with openSUSE as such,
but it's something people want to use. the only criteria should be
legality, IMO. if it's not available at all, you'll only drive people to
other distros or M$.
Exactly agreed. I'm not perfectly sure what the brouhaha was about including
it in factory, except that some people assume that means it would wind up on
the DVD, which is not the case. But I think by creating a repo that functions
like a public library would, we can get around the need to even change
offensive descriptions in the packages. And we certainly need to come up with
some sort of solution, since just about everyone got butthurt for some reason
or another.
