It happens. Let's move on here, eh?

In particular, I'm delighted that SL includes in their main channels
hooks to other useful open source or freeware repositories, such as
rpmforge and EPEL. I'd like to mention a repository that does not
integrate directly with SL, but I've found useful: PLF. The Penguin
Liberation Front makes a hobby out of building software for Mandriva
whose licensing prevents direct inclusion there. I've used it
repeatedly for building software, such as DVD rippers and the decss
library when I was in Europe, that might present patent issues in the
US.
