- we want to make the EULA _really_ simple in using only OSS, currently the EULA (if you read it) forbids you to distribute copies of your downloaded openSUSE - because of the non-oss software bundled
This reason alone should tell everyone that the NON-OSS software have to be removed from the OSS media.
It's not quite that simple. Some non-free software allows redistribution, and some does not. Even the non-free version of java allows redistribution. There are two things to decide: 1: Should we remove all non-free software which restricts redistribution. 2: Should we remove all non-free software and have a completely pure system. Worth bearing in mind for (2) that even if all non-free software is removed the user can still not freely modify and redistribute the modified versions because of all the Novell trademarks and some non-free artwork included. -- Benjamin Weber --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
