I would like to try BOINC, but not so much that I want to make an exception for nonfree software. My preferred OS (Parabola GNU/Linux) blacklists BOINC because it is not completely free software. The specific details for why are documented here http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Software_blacklist#boinc_.2F_boinc-app-seti
I would like to ask the developers this: are you committed to not using freeglut or another free glut replacement? If not, could I ask that you attempt to make the switch, so we can reevaluate BOINC for freedom and eventually get it off the blacklist. I don't see any reason why a project like BOINC needs to be nonfree :) Cheers, Ramana _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
