I think the spirit of this project could not be compared directly to nVidia and ATI distributing linked code themselves. Of course we cannot tell, but it would not surprise me if the notice was composed by someone who doesn't have the authority or right to pursue the issue. If someone were to sell FGLive discs then trouble might arrive. Licenses are fine, but copyright law is really about money and demonstrating a quantifiable financial loss is key to any claim.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] FGLive 0.1 alpha available for testing
I always use my poor man installation of Knoppix (like a live cd image booting from HD), and save those drivers and video codec to a flash memory, and copy back to ramdisk (union fs) for later usage / installation This way I have an access to essential, but hard to access stuff at hand in a convenient place. If a file is too big to fit, I burn it to my cd or dvd and copy back to ramdisk (union fs) for later usage / installation, like I did for X-Plane. Isao"Curtis L.

This is a very strong reason Nvidea would consider honoring our question to distribute their proprietary binary drivers favorably, or watch ATI get all the FGLive business on GPL drivers. ..we need only ask them, and then ATI, and in that sequence. ;o) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...

For the time being I'll wait, as evidence shows there are plenty of distros and one or two other live CD that ships with nvidia/ati binary drivers. Worst come to worst I will make FGLive not to include the driver, but have a convenient way to install it at boot up on the fly. Pigeon. --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
