What's in etc ?
However, here in France we have a law "Dadvsi" on which the
Conseil
Constitutionnel (something like American Suprem Court) has
statuted that the law could not prevent exception of
decompilation and the exception of circumvention of DRM if this
is for interoperability. In other words the use of libdvdcss is
allowed for interoperability.
So for me, Mageia can come with libdvdcss and other tools for
interoperability
And for the people hosting mirrors outside of France ?
It's their own responsability, no one force them, and some in the
world take the responsability to host mirrors with questionnable
software. Let's give them the liberty to choose as we have the
opportunity here in France to ship such software. No one forces
several company, university, or other groups to mirror ArchLinux,
PCLinuxOS, LinuxMint, PLF
So I assume that you volunteer to find another Tier 1 mirror to replace
ibiblio.org ?
I was actually going to approach a university in Canada this week about
mirroring but I think I will wait till this is sorted out. I don't
believe I could convince them if they read this thread. They would most
definitely have second thoughts.
Indeed, as even Debian/Ubuntu do not ship libdvdcss (e.g. arch, gentoo do)..
As for patents, Ubuntu already has 4 mirrors in Canadian universities.
Yes, Ubuntu is riding a wave of popularism at this point. Their product
marketing is working quite well. You find/hear of them constantly. It's
something we should be doing as soon as we publish our first solid
product. The first release is just testing the infrastructure and
product so we still have time to organize.
