Hello.
I am the developer behind "Green Recorder", a software to record the Linux
desktop:
https://github.com/green-project/green-recorder
The project (and the repository) was deleted completely from Copr with no warning
suddenly. Now away from the discussion about why it was deleted, the real question is why
I didn't receive any email notification about it? I just saw it was deleted, with no
notice or warning.
When resolving legal issues, I (personally) am sending emails to owner
of those projects and I give them few days to delete it on their own or
give them chance to explain why they think we are wrong (it happened few
times already).
However I am not only one admin. And some others delete those projects
without warning. I disagree with this practice, but I cannot really do
anything about it.
The second question is why it was deleted? Some friends on IRC
channels suggested because of ffmpeg patents. But the software itself (and the repo)
doesn't contain any copy of ffmpeg. It depends on the free repository of rpmfusion to
install it as a dependency. Isn't allowed to install / use ffmpeg in Fedora? Even If
the user was the one who chose to install the software?
Yes. Even runtime dependencies on rpmfusion are not permitted. :(
