Free software as Sure, I didn't mean that it is not a belief, but that it shouldn't be violated solely because it is a belief. Indeed it becomes a norm within fedora when it is in the fedora goal. The norm should be respected, or changed. And once a norm is edicted it should become as technical (objective?) as possible to check whether it is respected or not. -- Pat -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
