(Whether or not in the same package.) + +Our mirror policy says that an official mirror must carry core and +nonfree. (We have no control over or responibility for non-official +mirrors.) +And our isos don't have nonfree documentation. (But if they did, we +could always ensure that the documentation package would only be +included if the software package were also included.) + +So where-ever we put the documentation package (in nonfree), there will +also be the mysql-workbench package (in core), which satisfies Oracles +restrictions. + +Regards :) + +-- +André +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="020124.html">[Mageia-dev] Question about mysql-workbench documentation license +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="020078.html">[Mageia-dev] What the hell is wrong with MGA2s suspend/sleep/hibernate? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#20166">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#20166">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#20166">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#20166">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
