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?
Is the 6th CD non-GPL or non-OSS?
"novell linux desktop" != "SuSE Linux"
OK. Different question: Can banshee be included in SUSE Linux so we get MP3 support. If not, why not?
banshee is part of SUSE Linux - and the banshee-helix backend is there as well (in the extra tree). Btw. amarok handles mp3 the same way as banshee does, so you can use it as well.
