It wouldn't be right to say that redistributable packages have no associated software license. It's also not correct to say that it can be done without restrictions, since that depends on local law, etc. Rather, redistributable packages have a license that permits redistribution. -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
