After thorough review, we've concluded this is all in keeping with the Fedora guidelines: * The trademark use is in compliance with Spotify's terms of use for third-party applications. * The Clementine app as packaged in Fedora is not shipping the spotify proprietary blob, leaving it up to the user to decide whether they wish to download it. ~tom == Fedora Project _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
