I'll poke at them after that. Files, plural. If each RPM in the blob has separate licenses, we need to re= view all of them. Additionally, from the base license: ] Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any spec= ific ] restrictions which may appear in the Redistributables text files, Intel g= rants ] to you a non-exclusive, non-assignable copyright license to distribute (e= xcept ] under an Evaluation License as specified below) the Redistributables, or = any ] portions thereof, as part of the product or application you developed usi= ng the ] Materials. Thus, we need to review the "any specific restrictions which may appear in = the Redistributables text files" for problems as well. At a first reading, it smells badly. Do you know of any other distro that is redistribution the files as-is from upstream or other derivative distributable? P.S., As I feel it is appropriate here, IANAL, and this should not be construed as being legal advice. Rather, I feel sufficiently -versed in open source licensing issues that I can say if something is going to be clear or too gr= ey to be certain. --=20 Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Developer, Trustee & Infrastructure Lead E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 --R+My9LyyhiUvIEro Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Robbat2 @ Orbis-Terrarum Networks - The text below is a digital signature.
