Indeed, either a special definition of OSS for SUSE which is lenient enough to include pine and also devalue the OSS naming is written, or pine is moved out of the OSS section and into the CD6/extra repository. Another possibility is that the pine/pico licence could be changed, but this seems highly improbable given that Debian had this discussion years ago
We are talking about the new CD layout of SUSE 10.1. For 10.1 there will be no "SUSE Linux OSS" anymore. Just SUSE Linux {Retail, Download DVD including CD6, CD version}. Only the last version is our topic here, as somebody has to decide, if the purpose of this CD is for user's sake of *legally* copying, distributing, and using his version, or if it's for OSI-compliance sake, for the user's you mentioned as not wanting to have any non-OSI software. Please also note, that this is not a GPL topic, as most software outside kernel, gcc and GNU has a different license. However, except pine all of them seem to be OSI-compliant. So today, the problem is just small, pine here or there. But it really should be discussed "What, actually is the goal of CD6?" to prevent future problems. Ciao Siegbert
