What's the bugzilla URL? I think people have answered the licence
question pretty well but I'm curious to see how the split up of the
300+
packages is being accomplished. That seems like it would be a more

The specfiles for the two packages are almost identical.
The split of the huge upstream installer was not an issue with either
