I know this isn't really the right place for exploring implementation details, but whoever's providing that service is going to have a pretty thankless task in terms of dealing with alleged copyright and patent infringement. And unless whoever's hosting it is aggressive about patent stuff, we're effectively shipping something that's a checkbox away from giving users RPMFusion. That seems like the kind of thing that's potentially problematic. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
