Remember Debian dedicarion to freeness and open things. It's not right to tell Bastian he isn't doing some good: he is just complying with the way Debian does a free (as Freedom) operating system. The issue with blktap2 was the use of openssl which is incompatible with the GPL licence. This has normaly been solved upstream since 4.0.1, but I don't know the status in Debian (I didn't check). We have to wait for his answer about pv-grub... Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
