The pages were approved by Fedora Legal. There _are_ legal issues with describing how to install non-free software, which is why they had to be vetted first. 3) If you want to add a page for Skype or other non-free software, please get it approved by Fedora Legal. josh _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
