There are two things to decide:
1: Should we remove all non-free software which restricts redistribution. 2: Should we remove all non-free software and have a completely pure system.
The only proprietary packages that I think are really significant are Sun Java, Adobe Flash and the wlan firmware blobs. Do any of these packages prohibit redistribution? If not, I'm for keeping them on the dvd5. I just checked with our legal team. firmware blobs doesn't but Adobe Flash and acroread prohibit redistribution. With Java its pretty tricky as larger parts are under the Distributor License for Java (DLJ) and some uses and older Sun Binary Licence which doesn't allow redisribution.

My heart says screw the evil crap, but my brain says it's a good idea to keep the division with FOSS CDs (albeit with wlan firmware) on one hand and on the other hand the "mixed source" dvd5 that "just works out of the box". This way we have something for everyone. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
