The problem about squish is that some (at least Fedora/RH) thinks that
distributing patented sources is as harmful as distributing the compiled
version... Debian's point of view is that source code is like free speech
(at least in the US), and it's just a description of the invention, not the
invention, so no problem to distribute the code. Am I right? So even if I
disable the squish code during compilation, it's still in the source code,
therefor it's still distributed (within the SRPM). Fedora could decide to
remove darktable from their repos for that :(
Is that the case for openSuse?
