Changing a licence on some software doesn't change the compilation. The licence is completely orthogonal to whether software is reproducible or not.
- anthk 2y agoHow do I recompile binary blobs?
- viraptor 2y agoNon-free does not mean compiled. Here's a non-free script which I grant you the right to view but not execute or copy: echo foobar Reproducible, compiled and free are all orthogonal.
- kazinator 2y agoYou don't. So the blob that is packaged and installed is identical to the one in the repository. Hence, it has no reproducibility issue.
