By the way, Opera is allowed in OBS, why not the drivers? I do not say, to include them in the release by why not to just allow them in OBS?
Closed source kernel drivers are violating the copyrights of kernel hackers AFAIU. => not allowed on OBS until you get all the kernel copyright holders to agree that they are fine with that.
As I know it violates the copyright if it is shipped as parts of one product. If the user installs it does not violate the copyright. Also there is no difference where to place the drivers - on the nvidia server or in OBS from the copyright point of view (especially given that the packages located on the nvidia server are in fact prepared by openSUSE developers in OBS inside X11:Drivers:Video project) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
