#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 mattdm): Replying to [comment:39 uraeus]: > And to some degree if people search for Chrome then prioritizing Chromium could maybe be justified although I am already feeling we are close to being annoying with such a move. And it also feels very Chrome specific, as the number of 'non-free' applications with a open source twin is a very small club. And of course returning for instance Web or Firefox on a 'Chrome' search is without a doubt crossing the line from trying to gently push people in the right direction to just being obnoxious. I think reasonable people can disagree on where exactly that line is. A gentle push that no one notices is... too gentle. Personally, I'm willing for us to err on the "obnoxious" side if that best advances the mission of promoting free/open source software. Of course, ideally, we have a solution that's both non-obnoxious *and* pro-free-software. In the real world, there's a balance somewhere; in finding that balance, communicating the preference for free software should be a primary objective, not something done only if it can be done without annoying anyone. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/57#comment:40> 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.
