Nope. We cannot distribute software that doesn't have a proper license (the Siemens stuff) or is affected by patents (the lzw stuff). Note that the source is distributed along with the binaries (as required by GPL et al), so disabling the patented/non-free stuff without removing it altogether, won't help you at all. -- Kind regards, +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Bas Zoetekouw | GPG key: 0644fab7 | |----------------------------| Fingerprint: c1f5 f24c d514 3fec 8bf6 | | bas@o2w.nl, bas@debian.org | a2b1 2bae e41f 0644 fab7 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
