What I see as a problem is that this has an implicit attached request
to our current KDE Windows releasing team saying they shouldn't
package and release GCompris.

It would be unfair on Bruno for our KDE Windows team to do so. Legally
they absolutely can, but it would still be more than a little bit
rude. It's also equally unfair on our KDE Windows team to ever prevent
them from doing so.

I think it does open up some very interesting questions, not just here
but for other cases where our Android/iOS porting becomes popular on
how to do this in a manner that is fair to everyone. Money can easily
cause a lot of tension and arguments.

I'd like a discussion on it and maybe some guidelines.


Hi,

Yes I confirm that this is an important question and we must think about it before going further.

Distributing 2 different binary versions of GCompris, one on gcompris.net with an activation code and one on kde.org without would be unfair and confusing for the users. Like you mention it would be much more confusing on Android/iOS.

Even if you take out the activation issue, it is very confusing to have different application with the same name being build and distributed by several organization. It is the rule on GNU/Linux and we are used to work that way but on the other platforms it is not practical.

Bruno.
