s/nonfree/freeworld/ in package name postfix?!
by Thorsten Leemhuis
Hi all!
FYI: there was a new package reviewed for Livna which contains bits that
are not acceptable for Fedora. During review it had the name-postifx
"-nonfree".
Several people never liked the term, as the bits in this and similar
cases are actually free, just not acceptable for Fedora due to US laws.
So there was a discussion to chose a different name. We quick settled on
the term "freeworld". If that name is okay for everybody else I'd
suggest we use it from now on and change all other "nonfree OSS"
packages (audacious-plugins-nonfree, xine-lib-extras-nonfree,
kde-multimedia-nonfree, ...) to that name before or during the move to
RPM Fusion. Does that sound like a plan?

Thanks for your reply, can you please add your comment about Mediatomb using
its own private copy of libupnp to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426733
Then the packager should patch is so that it will use the system version instead,
Thanks!

upnp and patents
by Hans de Goede
Hi,
I know that there has been some work done recently on some upnp packages for
livna as there were some patent issues, today I stumbled over this review in
Fedora:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426733
Can someone who knows a bit more check wether this piece of upnp software is
patent stuff free?
Regards,
Hans
