- Subject: Allowing EASY install of thirtd party software (RE: Two GPL clarifications)
If I have "analyzed" things correctly lately;
most of the GPL violations are done in this situation:
1) Person "P" writes/ports some nice software using cygwin.
2) P picks out required parts of cygwin runtime objects
and builds a package that is fast and easy to install.
3) P puts the package on a webpage.
Maybe the GPL-violation-warning should be accompanied with a pointer
to an easy-to-follow instruction on the use of a custom setup.ini
As I've had no interest in looking the subject up;
a) Is there such a webpage?
b) Is there a nice stub for such an setup.ini file?
