Yeah, though riot is GPLd.
Tuomo and I've worked on a couple of projects (riot, yi), but it's been a while.
Anyway, riot is in AUR,
We should probably handle this one extra carefully, so I took it upon myself to do some due diligence. I'm not trying to revive the Tuomo bashing that went around the arch community when this happened last year. I do however feel that since he's made his feelings clear[1] on modified distributions, we need to protect our reputations by establishing that an effort was made to ensure we were complying with licensing restrictions. I don't know if cabalization (modifying the build system) concerns him. The license in the version available[2] from his personal website appears (through a quick diff) to be insubstantially different from the FSF's edition of the GPL2. I have attached the content of the diff to this message, as you can see, the differences are entirely in format. I think we're good to distribute this.
