packaging F@H Binaries

[rickb]

Meta question: Are there license terms somewhere that I can look at for questions like this?

Hi! I've created a really basic Spark job for F@H to spin up the client in a distributed cluster. I'm looking to broadcast/share/open source this more as I get the code cleaned up but currently need to know if there's anything preventing me from putting e.g. the RHEL/Centos binaries in the zipped distribution of the project

Welcome to the F@H Forum rickb,

Please have a look at this topic: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=33962

That states it pretty plainly! Any chance it is either updated or there are reasonable exceptions or a way to get an exception or work with F@H about a deployment model they're comfortable with? I'm curious specifically because the Ansible project posted a couple days ago is definitely "3rd party installers which download directly from foldingathome.org web sites" viewtopic.php?f=106&t=32748&p=323690&hilit=ansible#p314552

You could certainly contact the foldingathome group directly. Permission has been granted in the past, for instance gentoo has a permission document in their package.
