Why is freeguide in multiverse?

Asked by Andy Balaam

FreeGuide is a fully GPLv2 application, which runs perfectly using the OpenJDK version of Java.

Shouldn't it be in the universe repository?

Thanks for the question.

When the package was classified it did not run with a free java environment but needed the sun-java environment.

It could also be that you have sun-java installed and configured as default. How did you check that you really run it on opensdk?

If it really runs on a free jre/jdk, we can certainly file a bug report to get this changed in the next release of Ubuntu.

Thanks for the support.

If you just click on the button "Create bug report" A bug report linked to this will be created. I can then look over it and make sure everything is needed for the developers to look at.

Thanks

Thanks - I've created a bug. I am the main developer of FreeGuide upstream, so please ask me if there is anything you need from me.
