This thread is about content without code. Either way, it's stuff that can't be used in Fedora without some proprietary bits we can't ship. The code vs content old debate is totally misguided IMHO. We want more free code. We want more free content. We want more free <insert stupid classification>. We want to train our users to look for free <stuff> first, and not complain about our lack of support for something else. And the only way to get more free <stuff> (short of buying it to re-license it) is to ship it to reward people who create it with some public exposure. I would welcome a collection of music in the appropriate license and the appropriate formats¹. That would enhance our music players. That would make a collection of free art available to free game authors. That would make average users aware there are other possibilities than P2P MP3 copyright breaking. If we're unable to demonstrate our users there are other options than mp3, we should not complain about all the hassles mp3 support causes us. The only relevant criterium is “can it be used with pure free <stuff> Fedora ships, or does it require a bunch of proprietary bytes we don't.” ¹ To take the ebook example: an ebook in a format we can read is ok, and we don't want the car too -- Nicolas Mailhot
