That "GPL" directory Posted Apr 28, 2004 22:23 UTC (Wed) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link] this is being disputed, in at least some packages there is code in the GPL directory, but in at least one RPM (Suse, IIRC) the directory is empty.it's hard to say that this is the fault of Linspire, it looks like someone at Suse goofed when packaging the source RPM.
Linspire? SuSE? What are you on about? Posted Apr 29, 2004 5:15 UTC (Thu) by ctg (subscriber, #3459) [Link] Linuxant make the product. Linuxant make the packages. They have packages for various distributions - Linspire isn't even one of those, although the SuSE one is.I think your brain is leaking prejudice.
Linspire? SuSE? What are you on about? Posted Apr 29, 2004 6:20 UTC (Thu) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link] yes, I was misremembering the company name, my apologies to both companies
That "GPL" directory Posted Apr 28, 2004 22:26 UTC (Wed) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link] also the code that isn't covered by the GPL is the code to implement the various communications protocols in the winmodems, this code is very definantly not a derivitive of the linux kernel (as the authors of the code in question have chosen to never support linux), but is only sold under license by linspire to allow their customers to use their modems.
