[opensuse-factory] How to deal with non commercial packages
Hi, I found this comment in one of my pet projects (python-pyramid): # NOTE: The documentation in the docs/ directory is under a # non-free license (CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0). Do not package it. Indeed: https://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/copyright.html Isn't this affecting the SL variants only. Is there a way to package files, distributed under a non-commercial license for openSUSE only?

NC license is no-go for inclusion, I usually just make sure to wipe the files. I keep them in src pkg as repacking it would be way overboard. Keep in mind that openSUSE only users can use the software for commercial purposes and it could bite them. HTH Tom

rm -rf docs/ There is no other way, this just cannot go to any official openSUSE repo. Just add README.SUSE (or something like that) pointing to that documentation on the web.
