Well, you may be right. I won't pretend to know all the convoluted legal mazes surrounding licensing issues. It could well be that this was legally allowed to change. I am pretty sure it would upset the upstream devels, which is never a good idea. This alone would be reason enough to follow their wishes and not exploit the letter of the law, if that were possible Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
