Is the "intersection > between OSI and FSF" approach a good enough compromise for you? It's probably more-or-less mirrors the policy now. Certainly a pine package that we could only apply official security patches (and where other patches would be by negotiation) doesn't really fit the definition of what we'd normally consider. Moreover, we'd want whoever takes the stuff from Fedora Core to be able to redistribute and rebuild as well (of course, you have to watch trademark issues here.) Bill
