[Morphix-devel] MorphixLiveKiosk

[Brendan M. S. <me...@ba...>]

HI Alex, Jure et al,

Thinking about a release of MorphixLiveKiosk:-
  http://www.barwap.com/morphix/livekiosk/MorphixLiveKiosk_pre1.iso

As Jure and I have discussed the LiveCD does not have to be rebuild to
be customised, just tweak :-
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/morphix/trunk/scripts-mini/MorphixMini-KioskSetting.xml?view=markup
Then morphmini, isomorph --add mini, morphix-rebrand. As per the HowTo:-
  http://www.morphix.org/manual/how_tos/docbook_html/ar01s05.html
  http://www.morphix.org/manual/how_tos/docbook_html/ar01s07.html#AutoLaunch

The LiveKiosk contains java binaries. built using this minmodule:-
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/morphix/trunk/scripts-mini/MorphixMini-KioskAddins.xml?view=markup

<flamebait>
It contains the Java license:-
ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/java/JDK-1.4.2/i386/rc1/LICENSE
 ... 3.0 LICENSE RESTRICTIONS 3.1 Licensee may not duplicate
Licensed Software other than for a single copy of Licensed
Software for archival purposes only.....
So the MorphixLiveKiosk_pre1.iso is for archival purposes only.

Also before the java (& flash) binaries can be used, boot option
nonfree=ok must be invoked. This will then display, under the
bootsplash each page of the adobe and java license, which is quite a
delay in boot-up. Hence I feel I am complying with the spirit of the
license, [Even thought I would love it to be GPL]
This may spark a healthy discussion.....

Any hurdles before a full release ?

Regards,
Brendan
