Hi all,
We are making good progress with removing category X licensed code (see
[1]). On [2], first table, you can see, that most issues have been
resolved, the remaining ones are being worked on.
Therefore I will turn my attention to handling the category B (see [3])
code. It is now part of the SVN repository and can be found as archives
in the top-level ext_sources/ directory.
As far as I understand it, the category B code will not be part of a
source release. It has to be checked out from SVN. The configure (.in)
script has to be cleaned up so that category B code is not built by
default but can be activated with a single switch, similar to the
current --enable-copyleft switch.
Does anybody have an idea for a name for the new switch better than
--enable-category-b ?
Best regards,
Andre
