In article <1992Mar17.164352.28093@odin.diku.dk> kris@diku.dk (Kristoffer H. Rose) writes: In my opinion, this all means that GNU should ENCOURAGE a distinction between GNU and other software in instalations! There have been other arguments for putting GNU utilities in /usr/gnu. This is in fact how GNU software is installed here at Duke CS. I have one question to pose: what classifies as GNU software? There are at least two ways of determining this. 1) Only software distributed by the FSF. This would then include some software that was not originally under the GPL, such as RCS. 2) Any software that is distributed under the GPL. This would include things such as Perl, which may or may not be considered GNU software. I tend to use the second definition to decide what goes in my /usr/gnu. But I keep the RCS stuff in /usr/local/bin since that is where it has been since before the time it was distributed as GNU software. Maybe it is time to move it over to /usr/gnu/bin ...
