Public bug reported: The libavcodec-extra-52 package appears to be built from free software (GPL or LGPL licensed). But on its Medibuntu package page:
http://packages.medibuntu.org/natty/libavcodec-extra-52.html it is listed as "non-free" in the top heading: Package: libavcodec-extra-52 [non-free/libs] This is confusing. There are several web pages that explain what free versus non-free repos are in Medibuntu, for example: http://www.medibuntu.org/repository.php The free component contains Free software, whose source code is distributed under an open source licence. ... The non-free component contains software whose source code is not distributed under an open source licence. So I'm confused... PS: I do want only to get free software, I don't want binary-only software that doesn't use a free software license. So the free/non-free distinction is useful to me. I just think libavcodec-extra-52 (and several other packages) are listed wrongly as non-free when actually they are free. ** Affects: medibuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: free gpl lgpl non-free -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Medibuntu Packaging Team, which is the registrant for Medibuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792963 Title: libavcodec-extra-52 is listed as "non-free" in Medibuntu web site _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~medibuntu-maintainers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~medibuntu-maintainers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
