[Bug 1418] Review request: povray - Persistence of Vision Ray-Tracer

http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1418 rc040203(a)freenet.de changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |rc040203(a)freenet.de --- Comment #2 from rc040203(a)freenet.de 2010-09-17 05:47:22 --- (In reply to comment #1) Well, a) Povray is non-free. This is a well known fact for many years and had been subject to many discussions. b) Inclusion of povray into Fedora had been subject to discussions in the early days of Fedora and was ruled out a non-free. c) Maintaining povray as part of a distro puts the maintainer at legal risks, because section 1 (esp. 1.2) of http://www.povray.org/source-license.html renders povray's sources to be "effectively unmodifiable" (A distro's package maintainer put himself under legal risks if he modifies the code). That said, if I were prospective maintainer of an rpmfusion povray package, I would directly contact POVray and ask them for permission. (In reply to comment #0) Apart of what I wrote above, I don't see much sense in shipping povray-3.7.0.beta. If RPMfusion wants to ship povray, it should ship povray-3.6.x. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
