Slightly changed openSUSE 10.2 ISOs Released
Today the openSUSE team is releasing slightly changed openSUSE 10.2 ISO images. The reason for putting out those updated ISOs is a license issue, which had to be addressed. The following ISOs have be replaced on the mirrors. |

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

Thanks Sander.
But a whole new ISO image was required for a license change? Hard to believe.
Do you have a link to read more about it?
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.

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.

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?
