The issue is that this software is not open source. Hence it cannot be part of the universe repository, but if only of the multiverse repository, since all software in universe requires an appropriate software license and open source code. -- [needs-packaging] foldit game to Ubuntu repository https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375530 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Should this be marked Confirmed, as it doesn't exist in the repos? I would do this, but you're not meant to confirm your own bugs :D -- [needs-packaging] foldit game to Ubuntu repository https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375530 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 375530] Re: [needs-packaging] foldit game to Ubuntu repository
The tarball is a binary release. There's no source, and no license info. In the bug tracker (http://fold.it/portal/node/712386), one of the project admins stated this: The game currently does not need any sort of licence merely to use, i.e. you are free to play and redistribute the executable. The source code is not currently under distribution so it does not have a public licence as such. While the game looks very cool, and helps advance science, unless they release the source under a FLOSS licence, I can't see this getting into Ubuntu. -- [needs-packaging] foldit game to Ubuntu repository https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375530 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
