us laws (and many others) forgive even linking to copyright infringment software (lbdvcss, by example, necessary to read video dvd on linux), so suse can't have automatic linking to these.
Which is why it would have to be registered _and_ approved before being included in the list.
that is why I proposed that yast could read special file _on the server side_
I mean any suse repository can hold a "repo-register" file. downloading this file with a browser should make this repo included in yast. (remember the "make this repo in yast" of Konqueror in 10.0 and before)
Which would have to be manually found and added to YaST like it is now.
this way, Yast don't know initially of any repo and so SUSE can't be sued in law.
I was just trying to come up with a legal easier way to have repos in YaST, registered, _approved_ and legal repos to chose from. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
