How are we keeping our users from seeing non-free software again? I don't recall blocking Adobe/Chrome/Nvidia/non-free-provider's websites on Fedora. I *do* recall community members writing how-tos explaining why we don't ship them, and how a user can obtain them. Also, how does maintaining an ideal FOSS distribution mean that we've admitted defeat? If anything, it means that we trust free software enough to use it as much as we possibly can, at some points sacrificing non-free software that has some other feature that we could've used. Please let's stop with the movie style dialogues here. PS: Anyone that feels that "free choices suck", needs to move to Mac/Windows already and be done with it. -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur (FranciscoD) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Join Fedora!
