Files, plural. If each RPM in the blob has separate licenses, we need to review |
| 6 |
all of them. |

|
| 8 |
Additionally, from the base license: |
| 9 |
] Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any specific |
| 10 |
] restrictions which may appear in the Redistributables text files, Intel grants |
| 11 |
] to you a non-exclusive, non-assignable copyright license to distribute (except |
| 12 |
] under an Evaluation License as specified below) the Redistributables, or any |
| 13 |
] portions thereof, as part of the product or application you developed using the |
| 14 |
] Materials. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Thus, we need to review the "any specific restrictions which may appear in the |
| 17 |
Redistributables text files" for problems as well. |

At a first reading, it smells badly. Do you know of any other distro that is |
| 20 |
redistribution the files as-is from upstream or other derivative |
| 21 |
distributable? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
P.S., |
| 24 |
As I feel it is appropriate here, IANAL, and this should not be construed as |
| 25 |
being legal advice. Rather, I feel sufficiently -versed in open source |
| 26 |
licensing issues that I can say if something is going to be clear or too grey |
| 27 |
to be certain. |
