This has been outstanding since 2005, it's clearly not going to be fixed by the gnome-screensaver maintainter(s), which either means no-one cares enough to submit patches or the patches are consistently rejected. If the former, I'm guessing it's 'cos everyone's going back to xscreensaver, which

I understand the thoughts of the author, but the ones who don't care so much about philosophy can do the following. For the slideshow screensaver, there's a little workaround: put symbolic links in your default picture directory. Also, you can modify the .desktop files in order to pass

Copyright is with the original author. You can't just take someone else's work, plaster a license on it and call it yours and expect the law (or anyone really!) to recognize it :) Proving copyright is simple enough; just show when/where the original was published and by whom. See

Vadim Peretokin: it is not enough for source code to be available; to be open it needs to be licensed under an open source license (that is, it allows redistribution and modification), otherwise its just 'freeware'. The DEB file lacks a proper copyright file for the status of the code it contains.

Oh. Well, I thought it was open-source since there's no visible license, hence, it's in the public domain - and that means freely distributable. Here's what the xfx said to me a while ago: That's great! If you have the means, please, feel free to redistribute your 64bit binary version of the
