In regards to Novell Linux Desktop, I found this statement: "Novell has developed its own MP3 player software, Banshee, for which it has licensed the patents. The software will be available under an open-source license, but not the GPL"
I believe it is under the MIT license.
Does this mean that for SUSE Linux we get MP3 support on the first 5 OSS CDs without using the 6th closed-source CD?
No - you need the banshee-helix backend which will be on the later CD and is already in the FACTORY-E tree.
Is the 6th CD non-GPL or non-OSS?
It's non-OSS. Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
