You might also discuss the new announcement that the next ubuntu
release will have a Libre version. Again, I know direct
confrontations aren't fun, but Fedora should at least consider
publicly asking 'what took you so long?' and 'why isn't the main
distro free?' instead of allowing Mark to take credit for what he
should have been doing all along.
From what I understand, that flavour of Ubuntu will be more free (*)
than Fedora (e.g. no firmware, no images/sound that don't include full
source), so such an announcement might backfire.
(*) Depending on how you define freedom, obviously. I'm well aware
that there's little agreement what "freedom" means when applied to
firmware, images/sound, documentation etc.
On a related topic... from the Fedora main page...
"...All in pursuit of the best operating system and platform that free
software can provide."
What don't we have a link there to the Fedora definition of "free software?"
