In 4+ months, a lot will be changed/corrected. In my mind, this inappropriate name will tarnish Mageia. We can surely find a much more appropriate name. Since the repositories in question are empty, and will never be very big, the cost of changing is minimal. Then what do you suggest? (Remember we already have that discussion) half free :-) maybe free free maybe patent-free in your country/release not sure (special idiocraty for blinopterjan) (me slapping enael for having let those guys view that film) As a side note, let me protest against this. I was a victim and had to watch it 3 or 4 times i'm really curious about the movie now... me too :) actually, any of those suggestions would be an improvement ;) I did suggest contrained. Ubuntu uses restricted and/or multiverse (which include mostly non-free packages), and there were a lot of other suggestions. There was only ONE that seemed inappropriate. Ubuntu's multiverse and restricted contain non-free packages only. Packages in tainted are all free packages. -- Anssi Hannula

Packages in tainted are all free packages. ok just the Ubuntu web site repository descriptions indicate that patent-threatened or legally restricted packages would go into these repositories, along with the usual non-free. I have no idea what they do in practice. do you mean that you consider that non-free packages should go into non-free, even if threatened by legal or patent constraints ? -- André

I have no idea what they do in practice. They have fully enabled ffmpeg in main, and mplayer,x264,lame in universe. So patent-constrained pkgs do not appear to be put in multiverse. do you mean that you consider that non-free packages should go into non-free, even if threatened by legal or patent constraints ? Well, those don't really belong to either, so I'm unsure what would be done with those. However, I'm not aware of any such packages so it is a moot point :) -- Anssi Hannula
