>From what I understand, the autobuilder machines don't bother with non-free for quite practical reasons; mostly the lack of autobuilder maintainer manpower to check each license. It may be outright illegal to recompile some of them at all. Or some of them might require that a message be sent to the author whenever a binary is made. Or any of millions of other possible onerous restrictions. Basically, non-free software just sucks. I'm sure one of the autobuilder maintainers could explain more. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
