That "GPL" directory

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?

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.
