This is the bit of the movie where the background music turns ominous and the hero is offered a choice: stick to his principles and tough it out, or accept the apparently small compromise in one little corner of his value set which will allow him to spread the rest of that value set to the world. Right? I think we've all seen how those movies end. I would like it on the record that I consider Fedora's current values - specifically, our *commitment to* (not just *preference for*) libre software - an immense social and technical good, I am strongly committed to those values, I am strongly opposed to this change (defined as 'any change which leads to the seamless availability of non-libre software in Fedora products'), and I might have to re-consider my work on Fedora if this change were to be approved. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
