This is probably intentional. (In reply to comment #1) > This is probably intentional. > "Woran arbeiten Sie?" wurde Herr K. gefragt: "Ich habe viele Muehe, ich bereite gerade meinen naechsten Irrtum vor." Bertolt Brecht: Geschichten We will not be shipping nongpl modules as part of 10.1, this is intented. It would be fully sufficient to deposit them under /pub/suse/i386/10.1/SUSE-Linux10.1-Beta3-Extra/, just like you did with /pub/suse/i386/10.1/SUSE-Linux10.1-Beta2-Extra/. You will miss a lot of bug reports if you keep your beta testers away from using their hardware with the beta versions. There is nothing "resolved" - don't you see that lots of beta testers get excluded from testing if kernel-nongpl is not available? Eberhard, I see this. But speaking with the Linux kernel developers I hear the following as well: Most developers of the kernel community consider non-GPL kernel modules to be infringing on their copyright. Novell does respect this position and refrains from distributing non-GPL kernel modules for future products. Novell works with vendors to supply alternative ways to provide the functionality that was previously only available with non-GPL kernel modules. |
