Give more useful names to other bootable devices. This patch for booty would give more useful (descriptive, anyway) names to the other operating systems that booty finds. The patch is untested but really obvious. I'm guessing that trademark concerns are the only thing that kept someone from doing this sooner. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm almost positive this is Fair Use, as we're just using the marks to identify the product. Microsoft's page on the matter[1] says: "You may use the Windows trademark in a referential phrase such as 'works with Windows XP,' ..." And Apple has very similar guidelines[2] about the use of "Mac OS". Naturally I'll defer to Legal here, but it seems pretty obviously OK. -w [1] http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/trademarks/usage/windows.mspx [2] http://www.apple.com/legal/trademark/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html --- bootloaderInfo.py | 4 ++-- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/bootloaderInfo.py b/bootloaderInfo.py index 207242c..8aa39c4 100644 --- a/bootloaderInfo.py +++ b/bootloaderInfo.py @@ -189,9 +189,9 @@ class BootImages: for (dev, type) in devs: if not self.images.has_key(dev): if type in dosFilesystems and doesDualBoot(): - self.images[dev] = ("Other", "Other", type) + self.images[dev] = ("Other", "Windows", type) elif type in ("hfs", "hfs+") and rhpl.getPPCMachine() == "PMac": - self.images[dev] = ("Other", "Other", type) + self.images[dev] = ("Other", "Mac OS X", type) else: self.images[dev] = (None, None, type) -- 1.5.5.2 _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
