http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=953447 Bug ID: 953447 Summary: Move dropbox to non-oss Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: All OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Commercial Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: guoyunhebrave@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Dropbox downloads compiled and non-free Python code. These Python code are the real program of Dropbox. Based on this behavior, I think it should be moved to non-oss repo. Though the code of dropbox package is free software, its only usage is to download non-free software. It is less reliable than packaged proprietary software (e.g. flash-player), because we do not know what code is running. If we allow this kind of software exist in oss repo, any other non-free software can make a simple downloader and fill users' home folder with non-free program. Steam is doing this kind of work now. Here is a voting on Google+, more than 70% people think it should be moved into non-oss. https://plus.google.com/+%E4%BA%91%E9%B9%A4%E9%83%ADGuoYunhe/posts/eCwhsVwj1...
