Odd, I thought I was already running KDE 4.2.3 from unstable... I could be quite wrong though. I remember KDE from unstable requiring libqt4-4.5 recently, which made me have to upgrade lots of packages. :( > I downloaded the sources > from kde.org and checked out the debian/ subdirectory with the control > files for the 4.2.3 packages from the pkg-kde Debian Subversion > repository. >My question is if I am allowed to upload the resulting packages somewhere > and make them available to other people? debian/copyright should let you know what licenses the package (both source code and packaging commands) is under. Those licenses will dictate what restrictions there are on derivative works. However, since kde in is "main", you can/may use, modify, and distribute both the work itself and derivative works, although there may be minor restrictions. I think the most "onerous" restriction would be that the source needs to be available from the "same location" as the binaries you produce (or other, more demanding options.) -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
