Hi,
the survey we did on proprietary software can be found here: http://en.opensuse.org/UX#Surveys
It shows that we ship on the media some software which is hardly used (e.g. PlanMaker, SEPsesam etc.). Software which is hardly used we don't neet to ship on our media. Therfor my suggestion is to drop some software totally and offer some software only via ftp. To be discussed on opensuse-project.
Best Michael
PS: The question on TexLive was confusing. TexLive is open source but we wanted to know the use of it as it needs meanwhile so much space.
So, Michael and myself *propose* the following actions: * Remove ARCAD completely since it does not work at all on x86-64 (see bug #248873) * Offer software that reached either > 80% on "Never" or less than 15 % on "Often" + "Very often" only via *ftp* with 10.3. The following software would be affected: Planmaker SEPsesam TextMaker TeXlive Moneyplex falls also under this role, due to its usecase we suggest to leave it on the media. What do you think?
