Libreboinc seems to have stalled. And packages descendent from the boinc
soucre package will shortly be dropped from the repos. See [#5658]
I think that restriction is acceptable. You can run the software for any
purpose but it is not OK to run it in a stolen computer, correct? So that
would be OK for the 4 freedoms I think.
So, did this go anywhere?
The sourcecode for the Boincserver could be a problem:
https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/tree/master/rboinc/server. Read the files
called *default. The Client isn´t that hard.
Some one should upload a projectlist so that I could just change from where
Boinc loads.
It seems, that Boinc is downloading the list from the Boinc-server. We(better
FSF) should set up a own projectlist, so that I/we just have to change the
location from where it loads the list.
Maybe I should just make it a patch, the differences seems rather static and
so I wouldn´t need to keep it up to date.
That is a brilliant idea! Shame I cannot help out in terms of the technology,
but the idea is a great start.
Sorry it should be PS3Grid. For some reason there is a licensefile of
PS3Grid, maybe an error.
Here is the LibreBoinc repository https://gitorious.org/libreboinc.
I found 3 interesting things in the licenses.
1. Most is licensed under LGPL.
2. It has a restriction but maybe it isn´t a problem:
Restrictions
You may use this software on a computer system only if you own the system or
have the permission of the owner.
3. PS2Grids license is non free.
I'm pretty sure that restriction disqualifies it as free software.
Freedom 0- to run the program for any purpose. That's restricting freedom 1,
isn't it?
2. It has a restriction but maybe it isn´t a problem:
Restrictions
You may use this software on a computer system only if you own the system
or have the permission of the owner.
That's just a warning and not part of the license, so it isn't a problem. The
license is LGPL.
3.
Are any of these licenses nonfree?

I think I could just delete this paragraph.
Maybe they had added this restriction, because the chefs were getting angry
about the power consumption.
I plan a totally free Boinc, which only has free projects in the projectlist.
I have 2 problems:
1. I don´t know where to find the list in the code.
2. I don´t know which project are free.
To be honest I´m rather bad i programming, but it is on the issueslist, so
why don´t make a fork.
