What about making a special repo for legally grey-zone packages? I'd like to put packman, guru and other packages on our CDs /DVDs often, but have to sort them out the heavily. You want your repos to be included in OpenSUSE, so that users just have to klick to enable the installation source. With a special repo for all the half-legal and illegal stuff (e.g on a server in a non-EU country, like Switzerland ;-), live would perhaps be easyier and safer.
... don't expect comments on this on a public mailinglist ;)
I thought, there is freedom of speech in Germany ;-)
But incitement is still not covered by freedom of speech. Obviously you can speak about this stuff whether it is legal or not as long as you do not urge someone to do something that is illegal.
For instance it is illegal in Germany to hire someone for a foreign army. I still could talk about the theoretical option that you join the Foreign Legion but if I started to show you incentives to actually do so, I might get some trouble. Thus to protect myself from being suspected to have hired you for them I will not discuss the pros and cons for joining the Foreign Legion because someone could claim then that I actively hired you.
I am not aware of any country where incitement is a legal action.
I don't see, where is the incitement in discussing the legal problems with software repositories, but I agree with you, that incitement is not covered by freedom of speech. "This stuff is illegal here, let's put it on a server far far away, where it's not illegal" it not an incitement for me. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99
