Wouldn't there actually be a problem if one wants to, let's say, sell debian dvds? Maybe it would violate the license of some game data shipped with the dvd. Besides I think the issue gets exaggerated. If non-free art is in the free repos or not makes a minor difference. As long as there is no

vrms is a joke because it's not going to identify all of the non-free things that are there because it doesn't even look at everything in the first place and even the things it does look at are being judged by different criteria.

Can't really answer, but I suspect Mint will have proprietary packages that trisquelize might not remove. I would recommend running vrms first and trisquelize second. Other than that only you will know which undesired packages you will have installed in the past.

I like the idea of making the normal edition small, so that the other one is called maxi instead of mini. Couldn't it be enough to make the original iso-image 700 MB big, so that it fits onto a CD, like in earlier times? Every GNU/Linux user has to learn what package management is very soon

" The best solution is to nuke the GNU/Linux Mint install and put Trisquel in its place." Agreed. "vrms is a joke" I disagree. vrms does one thing and does it right: identify packages that come from non-free debian repositories. That is a step forward when trying to "clean" a buntu-based

Re: [Trisquel-users] Video/Audio format tipp for saving Vhs Videos and sd (pal) TV

It can't be included in Trisquel ADFENO, like I said... VirtualDub only runs on Windows! It won't work in GNU/Linux. It's the way the program works. You can have it in the repos, but it simply will not work.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquelize linux mint?

Something significant about Mint is that the Mint repositories, unlike Ubuntu's, are not segregated based on whether they're free or non-free. So that necessarily means that vrms won't work correctly on it. (I think I actually tried running vrms on a Mint live CD, and it told me,

Well, this software is written to run on windows, it uses the OS own way of dealing with video to work. So, it depends on windows to work. Does that make the software non-free? I don't think so. If I am writing a software and share the source code, with a license that gives you the right to:
