So when you're out for a long while like you did a while ago, we're forced to update your packages, because it's illegal to leave it outdated. Multiple distributions don't ship ion3 due to this or ship the latest version under the old license. I don't think we should handle that different. Though the source is available, ion3 is non-free software, because it takes away the distributors freedom. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: arch-dev-public-bounces@archlinux.org [mailto:arch-dev-public-bounces@archlinux.org] Namens Jeff Mickey Verzonden: woensdag 6 juni 2007 23:00 Aan: \Public mailing list for ArchLinux development Onderwerp: Re: [arch-dev-public] ion3 in extra: licensing issues On 6/6/07, Tobias Kieslich <tobias@justdreams.de> wrote:
Yupp, I think Jeff missed that discussion, while he was taking some time off. So yepp we should just remove it.
I didn't miss the discussion, I checked up on it after the fact. I published it with the correct license, and I'm on the ion list and the #ion channel on freenode. I usually know the day of if it has been released. I've told tuomo to email me directly with complaints, so no one else should have to deal with it. I think it's a non-issue when we all ready were distributing the [extra] version of ion correctly. I don't see why you guys who don't maintain it want to delete it. I'll handle the rebuilds, it's really ok. I like the software a lot. // jeff -- . : [ + carpe diem totus tuus + ] : . _______________________________________________ arch-dev-public mailing list arch-dev-public@archlinux.org http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-dev-public
