What exactly does this permission include? Is it only a permission for you or is the whole Arch Linux project including all mirrors, devs and tus are allowed to distribute it? Perhaps you could attach what you got from skype to make things clear.

My original request was: "I represent the community of Arch Linux distribution. I'm interested in making package with Skype (ie. repacking original tarball to fit our FHS and be installable by our package manager). (...)" When they agreed, I sent another mail with links to CVS entries and the package on Arch's server. They said it was all fine. Does it seem sufficient to you? -- Jaroslaw Swierczynski www.archlinux.org | www.juvepoland.com

Yes, that's what I just thought. ATM that permission thing is not documented and the license included permitts redistribution ;-) -- http://www.archlinux.de

I think I did the same with sopcast (now maintainer by voidnull)

Hmm... Nice idea! IIRC we've got permission to redistribute VirtualBox guest additions ISO, so the same can be applied to that package. I don't remember who's got the answer from Innotek though. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
