Hi all,
Just reopening a thread from earlier in the year related to including
later versions of hplip (refer to the end of this mail).
If I were investigate re-packing a hplip tarball without the closed
source components on a regular basis and serving on GitHub would this
be considered for inclusion?
I'm keen to get the package updated as it enables newer models. I
think this is being considered upstream, but it doesn't look like it's
a priority at the moment.
Cheers,
Peter.

Looks reasonable to me. My reading of their COPYING file is that it
has MIT, BSD 3 clause, GPL2 and GPL3 though rather than GPL2+.

we also kind of need a doctored tarbal without the binaries?

Hello Peter
If you provide a shell script that removes unwanted files, it will actually be
better. I would prefer that the script simply delete files, never modify
existing ones, but if you need to sed -i to modify anything, that's fine too.
Instead of your hosting the modified copy on GitHub, we can do it internally
and the cleaned (reduced) source will appear inside the .src.rpm. We already
do this for some packages, like (not-)ffmpeg and renderdoc.
