Re: Bochs / VGA-Bios license question / freebios anyone?
I originally ITPed bochs. Unfortunately it would have to go in non-free.
the VGA-BIOS included is licensed only for use and distribution with
bochs. It therefor cannot be seperated into a seperate package from
bochs (and if bochs is packaged, it should ge removed from the source
archive.
