Xavier,

We (Dribble) don't have a CVS, given the low package count and churn we've 
always been passing Ian srpms to build.

So in order to get dribble's packages into rpmfusion cvs / look a side, someone 
would need to go to:
http://dribble.org.uk/listrpms4.html

Create cvs modules for all srpms listed there and then use cvs-import on the 
srpms linked from there to populate the cvs modules.

Owners for the modules can be found here:
http://rpmfusion.org/InitialPackageMerge

But I guess all owners first need to have a FAS account, so maybe now would be 
a good moment to send a mail to the list asking everyone to create a FAS account?

Hmm, I just realized that creating cvs modules isn't that easy because we first 
need to decide on a package for package base wether it goes to non-free or free.

So what are the rules for free? I would like to suggest the following:

"free: anything of which all components are under a license which is listed as
  good on: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing

  Notice that free fully follows this webpage except that chapter 6 "Software
  Types" is ignored.

  Notice that anything depending upon anything in non-free must be in non-free
  itself."

Can everyone live with this? If we can agree this is the rule for the non-free 
free split, then I can make a list of which packages in dribble should go where.

Regards,

Hans
