And I think we try to avoid placing software who call back home by default, or similar features ( while I may be wrong, i think we had a patch on bittorrent for that, but I didn't found anything written, so that's likely just "decided by the maintainer" ). We also have it written in the privacy policy : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:PrivacyPolicy?rd=Legal/PrivacyPolicy#Our_Commitment_to_Privacy ( but I guess the privacy policy is just about the project infra, more than the whole project ). As I think most of the web sites we could offer do have a business model that would kinda contradict this commitment, and as no one spoke of this, i think it may be important to take that in account. -- Michael Scherer _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
