(Not on the list, please CC me on replies) hey, ia64 cpus have dropped hardware i386 support in exchange for non-free software emulation, known as "IA-32 EL". I took a cursory look at the license, and I'm wondering if its even viable to upload to non-free.
The text of this license is available here: http://www3.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/219741.htm It seems pretty clear that the intent is to permit redistribution, but I'm unsure about some of the restrictions. I'd like to collect a list of issues with this license (if any) with respect to non-free and see if Intel is willing to change them. The one that sticks out to me is: * Section 4: "Updates" requires "commerically reasonable efforts" to supply our "customers" with updates that Intel distributes. If this means we cannot say no to an update from Intel, that does not sound reasonable for non-free. But perhaps we are exempt from this since 1) non-free isn't officially part of Debian and 2) we are a non-commercial entity making commercially feasibility null? -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
