Hi:
Just a quick question. Is it illegal to distribute _all_ the windows dlls ? Can you elaborate on this ? Is due to the libraries format or because of what they contain ? Does Microsoft pay to distribute the non-M$ codecs ? Would it also bew illegal to provide them in our web site ? Are they illegal because of the GPL nature of linux ? (we can make a separate CD then) I am interested in this since I work for a small linux distro here in Portugal, and it is impossible to provide a media player (wich actually plays all the crappy videos the regular users receive by email) without the dlls . (altough of course divx, mpeg1, mpeg2 would be possible) Sorry about making a lot of questions ;) Thank you very much Gustavo -- "As novas gera�oes estao dentro dos cal��es" - poeta Manuel Jo�o , ap�s passagem no sensor" > What is the reason to not include win32 in standard distribution - > there is nothing illegal with win32 loader ??? You asked me the same question yesterday about lame :-) Sure, win32 loader has nothing illegal, it's just useless without win32dll, which are illegal to distribute. Providing them in a distinct subpackage allow to add a dependance for win32 package, ensuring propre auto-installation with urpmi tool. _______________________________________________ Avifile mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://prak.org/mailman/listinfo/avifile
