Add package "userful-multiplier" 

Because it is a useful package, to be a low cost solution for educational projects, and is a requirement to be adopted by the Brazilian educational project linux ( http://linuxeducacional.c3sl.ufpr.br/instalacao.html )

The "userful-multiplier" is necessary for the Brazilian Educational Linux (Linux Educacional 4.0, based on Kubuntu 10.04)

I checked in the website http://pkgs.org/search/ and it seems that only the "Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" has this package: Ubuntu Multiverse: "userful-multiplier_341-20090901000926-0ubuntu1_i386.deb".

The official site ( http://www2.userful.com/support/all-downloads/ums-download ), there are package RPM for "Mandriva 2008" and "Fedora 11" and "openSuse 11".

Unfortunately it seems it is a proprietary solution, is not free software

Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2012-08-10 16:27:00 CEST

seems more a freeware that something else

Comment 2 macxi 2012-08-10 23:05:40 CEST

Yes, seems a freeware, because is a proprietary software licensed by a EULA, which has;
- A full functional trial version, but will display a brief license reminder on all attached screens every 10 minutes or so;
- Provides "User Free-2 activation code", which when used, the number of stations can not be greater than 2.

Hi,

(Asking in several package requests at the same time:)

BugSquad has too few active members to take proper care of package requests, so we need to ask you to check some things yourself.

Please check in http://madb.mageia.org/ whether this package was already imported in cauldron, or whether there's another package with the same functionality that you can use.

If so, then please close this bug report, or, if the package isn't available in Mageia 5, change this report into a backport request.

If it is not available in cauldron, and there is no alternative that you can use, then please confirm that you still need this software.

Thanks,
Marja

Hi Marja, 
You're right. Maybe in the future I reopen report into a backport request.
