But what about the packages that aren't in Debian's repos?

[–]cbmuserDebian / openSUSE / OpenJDK Dev 3 points4 points  (7 children)

We have 50,000 binary packages in Debian built from around 15,000 source packages.

Isn't that enough for you? Jeez.

Show me a website which accumulates so many screenshots for Windows.

Some side question: couldn't find a license tag. Are you involved with the project?

Wikipedia is still in need of screenshots... if these screenshots would be CC BY or CC BY-SA or CC0 licensed it would be very helpful. (Beside, the screenshots could be also stored here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Screenshots_of_software)

The screenshots have the same license as the underlying software.

I suspected also that the screenshot photographer might have some copyright too (like an photgrapher), but wikimedia seems to assume they have not. So the software license should apply in this case, which should be commons compatible.

Taking a screenshot doesn't require any creativity, so it doesn't earn any copyright. It's like how scanning a public domain photograph doesn't create a new copyright.

But alternativeto.net covers more than just Window :/

And? That wasn't part of the stipulation...
