What makes the discussion even more ridiculous is that Packman offers SWORD without any problems, just as Packman offers many other packages that violate openSUSE's packaging rules. There is no need to make it part of openSUSE-official.
Any yes, the AUTHORS file from SWORD is a religious text. (The software itself is not, though.)
confirms my original impression that this whole thing is really a non-issue. didn't say anything for a long time, but eventually, when it came to discussing if or not anything religious, or controversial in other ways, should be banned, i found that i did have an opinion: i think banning is bad; criteria should be if people want to use it, if it's opensource, and if it's legal. you'll _always_ find some who'll feel offended, or who use the software in an offensive way. in this case though, since it's already available in repos tightly connected with openSUSE, i don't see why it needs inclusion either. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
