[Mageia-dev] GLUT (part of mesa srpm) is not GPL... and is quite obsolete ! (bis)

I send this message again because it did not appear in the mailing-list
+after I sent it on january 18th....
+As it concerns a basis rpm upon which others are built, I thought
+there's some emergency
+This seems to have at least convinced Mandriva team... and might improve
+Mageia too, reaching some common standard with all the other distributions.
+
+Here it is :
+
+Hi everybody !
+
+I don't know if it's the right place to post this, and I don't want to
+fill this mail list with long mesages...
+
+If someone needs to see what i'm talking about there's an old bug report
+on Mandriva bugzilla that was recently resuscitated (I know Thierry
+Vignaud had a glance on it...)
+https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=47090
+
+Perhaps it would be more sane and safe to start on a universal basis
+with freeglut (that is used by every distribution), and build packages
+with it (but that means a temporary problem of compatibility with
+Mandriva...)
+
+Hope this will help
