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.
The only proprietary packages that I think are really significant are Sun Java, Adobe Flash and the wlan firmware blobs. Do any of these packages prohibit redistribution? If not, I'm for keeping them on the dvd5.
My heart says screw the evil crap, but my brain says it's a good idea to keep the division with FOSS CDs (albeit with wlan firmware) on one hand and on the other hand the "mixed source" dvd5 that "just works out of the box". This way we have something for everyone.
Hi, On Friday 08 February 2008, Martin Schlander wrote: thank you all for the discussion about OSS only. The paragraph above outlines most what I read and I suggest to keep it as is. With the 1CD version we deliver on OSS only media and with the DVD we provide a convenient "works out of the box" media. We'll try to get the 1CD EULA more understandable that it just says, ..you're allowed to redestribute this software.. Thanks Michael
