Only that I assume RH's lawyers are more rabid about licenses than Fedora's, having a giant market capitalization to protect. Of course, if spot's actually the point man for both, then all bets are off :) > I have had various users here (the math department at a large > university) who have issues with either bugs or missing packages in > tetex that are solved by texlive. I'm sure that the actively maintained version is better than the orphaned one overall. But, if licensing issues crept into the new that weren't in the old one (which did pass muster at some point, anyway), having some version of tex available is infinitely better than no version. Of course, if removed from Fedora the rpms will fork over to a third-party repository somewhere anyhow, but that's sub-optimal for an application that's been a core part of unix since long before linux wandered on to the scene. After all, without tex how would we compile the nethack manual? :) -- Alec Habig, University of Minnesota Duluth Physics Dept. habig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://neutrino.d.umn.edu/~habig/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
