Re: Proposing a debian-contrib net...



There is also a need for a "really, really non-free" otherwise known as
"stupid-licenses-are-us" site.  The site could hold the debian diffs to
packages which don't allow the distribution of modified binaries (or even
source for that matter).  NEC socks being one such beast (or at least it was
about 21 months ago) - you couldn't even mirror the freely-available source
code.

One thing I've just thought of - context-sensitive diffs maybe right out
depending on how much of their code you can include.  In fact, diff probably
won't work at all in that case.  Hmmm - time for a "--no-original-code"
option to diff?
