avast free home edition, *which* license?

i’m in the process of making an avast4workstation ebuild for gentoo linux, but all ebuilds require that you specify which license the app is released under. i can’t seem to find ANY license agreements anywhere except the LGPL stuff for the modified gtk+/libx11/etc. can anyone point me in the right direction?

if any gentoo users are interested you can try out the ebuild here: http://ebuildexchange.org/eshow.php?id=10211

It is a closed-source (custom) license. Isn’t the EULA part of the install package?

well the “installer” is just “tar -zxf avast4workstation-1.0.4.tar.gz”. I have looked through all included files and not found any license docs at all (besides the lgpl for esmtp/gtk/etc). I’ll try to get access to a windows box to try the windows installer and see if it has a eula.

thanks for the direction, i was able to get the eula running the windows installer via wine.

Thanks, and I’ll make sure the eula file is added to the next refresh of the Linux package…

Thanks

i’m sorry, here’s avast4workstation gentoo ebuild from my machine:

sadly the upcoming glibc 2.4 has no linuxthreads support so it breaks avast

why? the library can also be released without linuxthreads support

seems to work ok w/ nptl if you just disable the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL lines in the wrapper script, i made a tiny patch to make that change for nptl-only users. oh, just for gentooers i guess though:

dublin: i borrowed some of your ebuild code for the kde stuff, combined it w/ mine which also allows a CLI-only install.

Hi,
I’ve prepared an ebuild package for avast4workstation-1.0.5. It’s modified version of your ebuild. Please, can you check it:
