#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 cwickert): Sorry for joining the discussion so late. Overall I'm happy with what I read, most importantly that people brought up the same concerns I share. I'm +1 on the first part of the statement that was already ratified in comment:34 and I definitely want opt-in. I don't care much how 'explicit' the graphical presentation of the opt-in is, this is up to the UI designers. Including non-free apps may be suggested (e.g. ''"some results were excluded from your search. Click here to show them"'') but not recommended. A simple confirmation of a default is not enough, I want the user to actively do it. And we need a "More Info" link that explains the background, e.g. why we believe in FLOSS. What I want most of all is that FLOSS is preferred over non-free software. Searching for Chrome should return "Chromium" before "Chrome" if possible. This being said I'm happy with > "The Council recognizes that allowing selected third-party non-free software to be installed is a valid experiment in advancing Fedora's mission. Non-free software may not be presented to the user without explicit user enablement in any Fedora Edition or Spin." but I think we need one more sentence for the issues mattdm raised in comment:35. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/57#comment:37> 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.
