Re: Novell Strips BitTorrent DHT Technology From openSUSE said by SUMware:What accusations? There are no accusations. Litigation can potentially be mighty expensive. So why risk it when the Packman repo can lawfully host the complete package? DHT = Copyright Violator.
Sounds pretty accusatory to me. 
I'm aware that litigation can be quite pricey, however I'm surprised there isn't a bit more "resistance" to this type of thinking from SUSE.
edit to add: I guess I am asking for a political stance from SUSE here which I probably shouldn't be doing... but again it smacks of guilty until proven innocent... |

Show us where any legal authority actually stated that Novell, openSUSE, or Transmission was factually accused of any copyright infringement or violation. |

| He didn't say either was factually accused (whatever that means) of any copyright infringement or violation. Those are your words and you're completely hung up on word usage instead of the issue.
Let it go and move on. |

Nope.
said by No_Strings:you're completely hung up on word usage instead of the issue. I posted the issue because I find it very interesting. Again, nobody was accused of anything, Novell merely had a justified legal concern. That's the extent of it. |
