Subject: redistribute intel rpms
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2009 16:04:41 -0800
Hi,

We have a few fetch restricted Intel packages in the main tree (icc,
ifc, mkl, ipp, tbb). All except tbb are closed-source but free with
non-commercial licenses. Lately upstream has repackaged the icc and
ifort (ifc) as a big tar blob containing all of them, but also release
some of them separately. For various reasons we would like to keep
separate ebuilds. The problem is the separate packages have common
libraries, causing duplication and file collisions. So the idea was to
download the tar blob which contain a few binary rpms and base new
ebuilds on these rpms. This means we will have to re-distribute the
rpms on our mirrors. I can't understand from the many licenses if we
are allowed to do it, it surprisingly looks like we can do it.

Anyone with better understanding of the licences could help? Upstream
does not answer.
