Sorry, I didn't realize you could add this list to the CC line and make things work.  This ticket's text is:



This came up in the form of a BZ ticket[0] which was later referred to FESCo[1] who seems to want this to be a Board decision.

In the latest release of GNOME 3 (3.12) users are pushed Google and other products straight from their desktops. It's not that these commercial products are available for install but rather if the user begins typing a program name into GNOME that is anywhere similar to one of these products the name pops up right on their desktop. This makes it appear that Fedora is encouraging the use of these non-FOSS commercial products along side the FOSS software we currently package and maintain in our repositories.
