I wouldn't. IMO Fedora is about software. Free /content/ should be
hosted on repositories that are set up for that purpose, similar to
wikimedia commons, in a way that makes it accessible to /all/ distros.
While I don't deny some validity to this POW, it's IMHO as obsolete as
the majors considering they're in the music business and they should not
have to worry about software or this internet thing.
Digital creations in any form are all increasingly intertwined, and
engaging one without the others is doomed to fail. As all the mp3
debacle eloquently demonstrates.
I didn't say we shouldn't "engage" improved visibility of Free content,
I said we should do it in a way that makes sense. That means sensible
tools to browse content (pk does NOT cut it for visual media, even worse
with yum). And I fail to see what benefit it is to throw a music
collection into the same repository as compiled glibc.
I'd rather see even fonts in a separate repo, as text descriptions are
not very meaningful to me deciding if I want to install a particular
font or not. (Plus it would make it easier to find Free fonts...)
