Hi there,
the issue is that both openmotif and alglib... they do not qualify for obs under the oss licence rule... though packages that are in common usage in science community need them...
I see a need for trackig these packages as non-oss. Having a repo called non-oss is nice as a collection pool where all those packages end up, with devel projects and individual packages sitting in someone's home the non-oss status is currently not trackable. AJ: do you know if this is possible with package attributes? Ciaran, Christopher, Susanne: does that make sense?
as these have non-commercial free source usage, do we add a pop-up licence to them telling users about?
Depends on the exact license, I'd say. Only very few licenses would call for a license popup. cheers, JW- -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de back to ascii! __/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 say #263A!__/ (____/ /\ (/) | _____________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, J.Guild, F.Imendoerffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg), Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany SuSE.
