Hi, the Ubuntu-based gNewSense distribution removed parts of GLX because of a license issue[0]. They did so because SGI Public License and SGI Free Software License B are non-free. According to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing this is also true for Fedora and the JOGL package was removed because of it. It is known that Debian is aware of the problem since 2003 but has not come up with a solution. The removal of the files breaks apps like compiz-fusion and the like. Is this problem solved in Fedora? If not it might be good if we can get in contact with the copyright holder of those files and ask for a relicensing. Regards Robert [0] - http://bugs.gnewsense.org/Bugs/00103
