The hardware4linux system seem to be very nice, but there is a slight problem with the licensing. The data is provided using Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 France License, and the noncommercial part is especially problematic for Debian use. This is the terms of service as reported by <URL:http://hardware4linux.info/about/tos/>: By uploading data and giving information to hardware4linux.info, you agree to give the copyright to hardware4linux.info. In return, hardware4linux.info is providing regular dumps of its data without user information under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 France License. While probing the dataset, it seem to need some cleaning. Several duplicate entries with different spelling are present (like Dell/Dell Computer and Hewleet-Packard/Hewlett-Packard/HP). This make it hard to automatically process the collected data. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
