simonov Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Why MandrakeSoft not include into Mandrake Linux 10.0 Community the best WM - Fluxbox? B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 As I recall it was a licensing issue somewhere so they removed it. No big deal, just go get the rpm and install it yourself. Theres lots of software they didn't include in the release. Sides 1 persons best is another persons worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 How could it be a licensing issue? Fluxbox is GPL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Apperently Debian includes it so it is not a licensing issue. Maybe Mandrake pissed them off and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Is it just not included in the download cds or just plain not included (ie. not even included in contrib ftps and such?). If it is the former, then I guess it's a matter of space. If it is the latter, then well.. I don't know the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Fluxbox is still on the mirrors. Different countries will have different licensing problems. I don't know what country Debian is officially based from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
