--- Comment #52 from Stephen Gallagher <sgallagh@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
I realized I should probably update this bug with the latest developments. I
had a long discussion with upstream regarding the /usr/bin/node name (or
rename) and we finally came to the conclusion that renaming to /usr/bin/nodejs
would actually cause a significant number of issues with a lot of scripts out
in the wild.

I have been in contact with the group owning the ham-radio package 'node' and I
am attempting to convince them to rename in Fedora instead, given the relative
sizes of their communities. If they do not agree, I think I'm going to take the
formal Conflicts: route as described by
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts#Incompatible_Binary_Files_with_Conflicting_Naming_.28and_stubborn_upstreams.29

tl;dr version of the above: We're going to stick with the /usr/bin/node name
for this package.



T.C., I approved your request for libuv comaintainership, and thank you!

As far as the npm stuff, I have yet to receive a formal answer from legal, but
the tentative answer I got was this: It's probably a valid free license, but it
is NOT GPL-compatible, so we have to watch out for that. They're going to come
up with a formal name for the license and add it to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main


Also, upstream Node.js is going to be releasing 0.9.4 shortly which has
upstreamed all of the shared-library patches in my package, so I'll submit
another build for this then (just to simplify things).
