Major complaint against Yast is the non-free licenseMajor complaint against Yast is the non-free licensePosted Apr 22, 2004 8:00 UTC (Thu) by vmlinuz (subscriber, #24)In reply to: Major complaint against Yast is the non-free license by bignose Parent article: Review of SUSE LINUX 9.1 Professional Bah, zealots... Or, are you sure? this widely-reported story from a few weeks ago disagrees with you, and while it's not a license, it is more recent than the license you've pointed to. Note that SUSE 9.1 hasn't been released to the public yet, so I'd expect them to formalise the change then.

LWN reported YAST going GPL as well Posted Apr 22, 2004 16:56 UTC (Thu) by Duncan (guest, #6647) [Link] That YAST was going GPL was reported here on LWN as well, and I was ratherdisappointed that it wasn't mentioned in the review as "one change free software enthusiasts will like", or some such. SuSE wasn't even an option for me before, because if I wanted non-libre I wouldn't have dumped a decade on MSWormOS to switch to Linux, but I'm happy to say I can rethink my options now, and might indeed do SuSE. (Unfortunately, I believe they still box several proprietaryware apps, including that German financial software that was mentioned.) Duncan
Major complaint against Yast is the non-free license Posted Apr 29, 2004 2:21 UTC (Thu) by bignose (subscriber, #40) [Link] From the story:> By contributing the industry's leading management tool YaST from Novell's If they do it, that's good news. It would be better if they posted it prominently on the appropriate web pages rather than in a "news" story. Thanks for the update.
