Quoting:The reason for putting out those updated ISOs is a license issue, which had to be addressed. Not that I am interested, but I am curious. The site doesn't elaborate on what change in the license that prompted this update, any one have an idea? |

Yeah. There was a font in there that they forgot to add the proper license for. That's all. |

Yes, because the license has to be on the CD. The same would apply if the forgotten license was a GPL "license.txt". Oh, and it's only the 2nd CD/DVD of the set taht's affected. The one containing non-FOSS stuff. The FOSS-part (disc 1) is the same. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2007-03/msg00032.... I came across a better article about it today, but I can't find it ATM. I thought that it was on El Reg, but I can't find it there. |
