Setting up unofficial BuildService for repositories like packman etc can be very usefull. As far as i am concerned BS is located in Germany, and so far there are no patent laws in European Union - what lawyers think of it?

The openSUSE Build Service is located in Germany, but inside of a Novell company (SUSE), which is a US company, so we are under the US law.

So openSuSE could be affected with US software patents?

Yes, with all that are "applicable". That are not all, but enough to cause some trouble. IIRC, someone created a wiki page in en.opensuse.org explaining the problematic parts. And, btw, do not accept to buy a mp3 player which has no ogg/vorbis support ! :) /me just struggles that his Nokia cell phone is not able to play them ... bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
