Comment 70 for bug 102212

>OK. So let's do this. Will msf3 work unmodified? And will Ubuntu
allow msf3 to slip in unmodified into multiverse? If so, I say we
just add it to Gutsy ASAP and then worry about cleaning it up for the
next release. We could easily get into many days of interpretation of
the license. If we can just place it in multiverse now, we can worry
about all that stuff later and get more feedback from hdm when he is
not so busy...

You are right, and none of us (as far as I know) are lawyers, nor Dev's for MSF. But it is clear to me that modifications are allowed, and they would result in a cleaner package. Just throwing everything together, without fixing the current linda/lintian issue, will most likely get the package rejected, meaning it may not make it in Gutsy at all.

But to answer the question at hand, Yes. Metasploit runs fine, exactly the way it is packaged, even with the Ruby path issues, and the permissions etc. We would still have a .desktop (Menu Entry) and everything else, so it works.

Thanks,
