Note that by discouraging repackaging in general you will create a situation in which we shoot ourselves in the foot. GPL explicitely grants the right to repackage a product and get a compensation for it and in general it is an appreciatable action if somebody packs in FlightGear, adds sophisticated documentation and support plus maybe some more for the sake of usability and sells the whole thing for whatever he feels is an appropriate compensation satisfying his business model. In fact FlightGear might benefit from that. One of the success factors of Linux is based on the fact that eg. SUSE exactly did this. The problem we are facing with guys like FSP is not *that* they repackaged the whole thing but *how* they did it and *how* they advertise it. Transporting the message "We don't like (commercial) repackaging at all" is a message which imho should not be transported- My few cts. Oliver
