All / list, that's by the way the reason, why I _did_ ask about the exact terms considering redistribution of a PUBLIC_SUNW_PATCH versus redistribution of a plain shared_library_file, way back earlier in this discussion thread. But nobody knew an answer to this sub-question. And it went under somehow. See myself asking that question just two days ago: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=54869 ""Yes, RTU versus "RTD". However, quite a few external sites _are_ allowed to redistribute SUNW's patches. Even including the bins we are discussing about: http://www.google.com/search?q=119964-07&hl=en&lr=&start=10&sa=N <http://www.google.com/search?q=119964-07&hl=en&lr=&start=10&sa=N> Completely external sites like http://ftp.us.xemacs.org/ftp/tigerd1/patches/current_signed/ or even http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.sun.co.uk/patchroot/current_unsigned/119601-06.README . They all _do_ redistribute those patches (and therefore bins and libs). Why are they allowed to? Do they have a special agreement? Or is it something different legally to redistribute a "patch"? Or may even be, all those sites are violating SUNW's legal terms? I just wonder."" Thanks, Martin _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
