There is huge difference between distribution and installation.
exactly. openSUSE doesn't distribute 'legally questionable' software, but the current 'one click install' mechanism makes it *very* easy to add foreign repositories and install things that you shouldn't have. but there is no way to change that without crippling the whole system.
Again we don't need to cripple that. We just can't promote it. If you go ahead and use some one-click-install to get you software it is just your choice to do so. All the software actually prints its license and informations so it is considered informed decision of that user to get his arse in jail in some countries. What we can't do is to actively promote it. Something along the lines "Click here to get all the multimedia and video codecs you will need" that pops-up right after installation. Or any other obvious hints. The OCI mechanisms are used for legitimate additions of repositories not just patent-based ones, so there is no need to remove such functionality. Cheers Tom
