#57: Seeking Council feedback/input on draft third party software policy -------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: pfrields | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: workstation | -------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by uraeus): In regards to 2 there is code for doing an extra dialog before enabling the installation of the software, including putting up a warning, I haven't really looked at it for a while as I felt the labelling stuff mostly made it redundant in the sense that it felt a bit over the top to both clearly label something as 3rd party and non-free and then also pop up a dialog asking the user if they really want to install this non-free 3rd party software. As for 3, I agree about having a clear process, as for the details on 1 or more versions or who provides it I tried to leave it open to be something we could evolve and refine over time without having to make a big policy change process for it. I think when I wrote the original text I mostly thought about who would be the most likely party to be around for the longer run and I thought that if the upstream handles it then the upstream is likely to keep doing it for as long as the upstream is maintained, but I realize that we would need to evaluate the truth and validity of that one a case by case basis. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/57#comment:6> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
