+<PRE> Le 12/10/2010 18:42, Marc Par&#233; a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Unfortunately, if this is done, I will no longer be able to install
+</I>&gt;<i> legally any Mageia due to our laws. I think it is best if these are
+</I>&gt;<i> not installed but let users know where to get them, mostly through PLF.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> When I install Mandriva Free for people, I will let them know where
+</I>&gt;<i> the PLF repos are and the files needed and they install these themselves.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> If Mageia packages include unlicensed software and codecs, the Mageia
+</I>&gt;<i> brand may be held legally responsible for marketing software in
+</I>&gt;<i> countries where the laws do not permit this. I don't really think
+</I>&gt;<i> would be a wise decision.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Marc
+</I>&gt;<i> Canada
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>The problem with a modification of packages with PLF post an initial
+install is that we are not absolutely sure to clean/drop/definitively
+destroy the &quot;patent compliant packages&quot; ... the dependencies between rpm
+are in cause.
+
+I have not done the count, but often it is not possible for me to
+uninstall certain packages because after installation they come in the
+dependencies of others. But the unique reason of presence is not because
+they are usefull, but only this binding dependencies.
+
+
+I think now to a sort of option to choice just at the beginning of first
+install. A question like : &quot;Do you need patent free packages or want you
+cool packages&quot; ?
+- If response 1 : Mageia install only the legal compliances packages,
+- if 2 ... the legal packages are not installed and we have the easy to
+use package for easy to use OS (VLC with DVD for example, nvidia drivers).
+With that, all the world is satisfied ;-)
+
+Is it possible ?
