</I>>><i> André, I agree with you, we never should have had the separation of
</I>>><i> 'tainted' (and I argued that in the early days too) but that decision was
</I>>><i> made a long time ago and is not up for debate here.
</I>>><i> With regards to open source but not FOSS, there are many types of
</I>>><i> licenses
</I>>><i> that source code can come with, not all of them meet the defintion of the
</I>>><i> free software foundation: <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html</A>
</I>>><i> Those that don't meet that definition are considered non free, this is
</I>>><i> just
</I>>><i> a convention commonly used in the Linux world, personally I'm not too
</I>>><i> attached to this convention, but again this is not up for debate here.
</I>>><i> I hope this clarifies things for you! :)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Don't forget that licenses accepted by OSI are acceptable as well.
</I>><i> If you like, give me the designated license and I'll check it out for you.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> The Mageia license policy, as I understand it, is a little more open
</I>><i> than that of Mandriva, as well as that of Fedora. (I stand to be
</I>><i> corrected, of course :) )
</I>...
Take a look at our licensing policy page, basically a copy of Mandriva
policy at the moment :
<<A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=licensing_policy">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=licensing_policy</A>>
It gives a very inclusive definition of acceptable licenses for "core".
Even special licenses which are similar to FSF or OSI approved licenses
are acceptable.
