I find it amusing that you point at Debian, while they do have an official non free add on repo.
I didn't. I pointed at the Debian Free Software Guidelines, which are the commonly accepted criteria for what defines free software. Debian got them right; that's why we use them, and that's why they define Fedora. "Free for non-commercial use" is restriction on field of endeavor, which directly undermines the intrinsic equality of free software (see Linus' message about "why the GPL2 is a good license" for why that equality is important).
Right now we have a very strong criteria for freedom. Weakening that criteria it's a very slippery slope. Why is non-commercial okay? Why not add non-modifiable? Why not add djb code? _That_ is why people are objecting so loudly.
And for the record, Debian non-free is utter hypocrisy. - ajax -- 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
