I don't really have anything to add other than that this seems like a good topic, you've given the scope some good thought. If this is not really on-topic for legal, you could bring it to fedora-advisory-board. What I've always "heard" about why we don't use flags for languages in fact matches what is on wiki/Languages. I always considered it simple respect for the varying opinions in the world, combined with the fact that a language is not the same as a country, so using flags is inaccurate. For a torrent tracker that is in fact tied to a country of origin for the torrent source, the flag makes sense. The upstream has to be willing to keep that updated, though; when a country changes flags, for example. However, is there a source for free-as-in-freedom images for all flags? Is Deluge making their own? - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41
