Hello.
I am the developer behind "Green Recorder", a software to record the
Linux desktop: https://github.com/green-project/green-recorder
The project (and the repository) was deleted completely from Copr
with no warning suddenly. Now away from the discussion about why it
was deleted, the real question is why I didn't receive any email
notification about it? I just saw it was deleted, with no notice or
warning.
When resolving legal issues, I (personally) am sending emails to owner
of those projects and I give them few days to delete it on their own
or give them chance to explain why they think we are wrong (it
happened few times already).
IMHO this should (must) be the common rule.
However I am not only one admin. And some others delete those projects
without warning. I disagree with this practice, but I cannot really do
anything about it.
The second question is why it was deleted? Some friends on IRC
channels suggested because of ffmpeg patents. But the software itself
(and the repo) doesn't contain any copy of ffmpeg. It depends on the
free repository of rpmfusion to install it as a dependency. Isn't
allowed to install / use ffmpeg in Fedora? Even If the user was the
one who chose to install the software?
Yes. Even runtime dependencies on rpmfusion are not permitted. :(
