[tbox-l] Legal issues

[<se...@me...>]

Hi Reza,
i understand fully your problem but i think we have a simple solution for it. The point is simply that you just DO NOT build the packages.
The packages are build by an external provider. You supply the spec files and maybe also give support for creating a build system for AIX GNU packages.

This way
 - You are out of legal issues.
 - The build environment is open source. People needing GNU packages for AIX can download it from the build server or
 - mirror the build environment and create their own packages.
 - The build environment could be used to build packages for AIX 4.3/5/1 as well ( If hardware is available )
 - Money spend on layers could be used more efficently by IBM

For this reason i have a machine ( p510 2cpu / 16GB ) running mpars for AIX 5.3 and 6.1 accessible over the internet. In case i have enough money i would not mind to get a power6 p520 .
Maybe other would also give access to dedictaed machines all over the world.

cheers

who dreams to be able to use an build environment like the opensuse build service.
