Distros should be renamed #285
Comments
I agree that all these projects should go on the same distro. But, we must remember that projects under the BrainVISA research license are not open source according to Open Source Initiative (OSI) or Free Software Foundation (FSF) because there is a restriction in the usage of the software (non profit only). An open source software must not have any usage restriction. Therefore, even if source code is freely available, it is not completely true to say that these projects are open source. |
Yes that's true, but we have separated the distros more according to the availability of sources than on the usage restrictions, and a set of projects are now available on github, thus we should reflect this change in the distros. |
I propose to add a distro, named |
Now we need a better name for the former " |
Now that several projects have moved to github and are now open-source, including morphologist tools etc, the casa-distro distros names do not match the actual situation: "opensource" does not include all opensource projects, "bvdev" more or less corresponds now to opensource projects, and we shall provide a light-weight distro containing base libraries without toolboxes, somewhat corresponding to the former "opensource" without the axon parts of toolboxes (which were included for licensing reasons but was not a logical needs for developers).
But if we change distros names, developers who have already installed distros will be disturbed: we have to handle the transition.
