Re: [ros-dev] Moving svn to another contrury or not

[Ibrahim Damlaj]

In sweden, reverse engeneering for compatibility is 100% legal. So, IMO,
Reactos could keep some reverse-engineered code if that code is kept in a
place where reverse-engineering is legal.

Isn't it down to the individual developers, rather than the project as a 
whole? Sure, the project can be hosted elsewhere but that doesn't mean 
the person who reversed and wrote code isn't responsible for it.

Also it could mean it would be illegal for a majority of people to use 
ReactOS outside of your country.

Plus it would probably cost more money to do.

Maybe a fork of the project would work there, but development would be 
very slow and you might not be able to get anyone legally able to use 
it. And a fork IMO isn't really worth it.

To move reactos svn to sweden I love idea. for casper do not need pay for
extra bandwith or pay for hosting it. and we will getting free bandwith and
other nice stuff.  Only thing we need is one server and agreed to move it to
sweden

how many people are against to move it to sweden and collect some money to
build the new svn server

I think we should move this talk to private mailing list

I'm not in favor of it because I don't understand the benefit of the move.

I'm not sure I like the idea of the repository being out of the 
developers immediate control

Ged.

[Sylvain Petreolle]

not in favor of it too.
IMO there is no benefit at all.

Use free ReactOS instead ( http://www.reactos.org )

Why change a running system? Moving the server to by-pass any laws
should not be the ambition.

As Magnus already said it is to save costs for Casper. He did also write 
that the svn server already is in Denmark which has the same laws 
regarding reverse engineering as Sweden AFAIK.
