I think so, too. I always disliked OpenPKG from a technical  
perspective but I am convinced that the possibility to install the  
Kolab Server on the most common base distributions gave our solution  
additional value. So in that regard I did like it.

But it is of course inacceptable if everyone that installs the Kolab  
Server has to pay licensing fees. I'll try to call Thomas Lotterer  
about this but I think the original mail is already quite clear about  
it.

And in that case I would also say that the decision has been made for us.

I think we should start discussing the different available options on  
the list so that we get an overview on the different options including  
their pros and cons.

Cheers,

Gunnar
