To activate wlan I use broadcom-wl package from OBS.
Why is this package in obs? The license for the wl driver does not allow it to be redistributed, please delete it from OBS before people get in big trouble...
In my mind, even having it on Packman is a violation of the Broadcom license. I think the only legal way to run Broadcom wl is to download the source from Broadcom's site and compile it on your own machine!
That is correct, it can not be in Pacman either.
I'll go poke the OBS maintainers tomorrow to delete these illegal packages from obs.

While you are at it why not also provide a link to the download area and instructions on how to compile and install the driver.
Why would I want to promote a driver that violates Novell's public position on Linux kernel modules, as well as my own, and one that violates my personal copyright on the kernel? {sigh} greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
