[ Please CC me, I'm not subscribed ] Hello!
I'm finishing the initial release of the Drip debian package (ITP #156287) which is almost ready for upload. The only resting nitpick is a possible legal problem. The README.Debian I'm pasting below explains for itself, I think everything should be ok the way I have put it, but would appreciate confirmation before uploading to the archive. It is important to note that libdvdcss is _NOT_ part of Drip. There are unofficial libdvdcss packages around, and I added them to Build-Conflicts to ensure Drip is not accidentaly linked against it. <-------------------README.Debian start Drip for Debian --------------- The purpose of this program is the creation of backup copies for your legaly owned DVD movies. Some of these DVD movies implement an annoying CSS "protection" to prevent you from creating backups, and Drip has support for using the libdvdcss library, which breaks this protection. Such support is, however, disabled in this package because enabling it would violate the DMCA and possibly other laws. This means in some states including but not necessarily limited to, the USA, it might be illegal to build Drip with libdvdcss support enabled, and/or distribute or even use such a build of Drip. Neither the authors of this program, nor the maintainer of the Debian package, nor the Debian project is responsible in any way for the person who illegaly enables libdvdcss support in Drip. If you think it is legal to do that in your state, you can do that (under your entire responsability) by following these instructions: [...blah blah...] <-------------------README.Debian end -- Robert Millan "[..] but the delight and pride of Aule is in the deed of making, and in the thing made, and neither in possession nor in his own mastery; wherefore he gives and hoards not, and is free from care, passing ever on to some new work." -- J.R.R.T, Ainulindale (Silmarillion)
