I know - I had a discussion with a FSF-representative on this. But ... many people disagree with this. As well as the facts speak for themselves: * The Fedora Mozilla packages can't be bug-fixed/patched. Cause: The package is non-free. * The Fedora Mozilla package can't be made compliant to the FPG. Cause the packages are non-free. Openly speaking, I feel RH is not interested addressing this issues, likely for political reasons or for marketing reason - A too high price to pay, if you ask me. > My > understanding is that, they don't consider it a violation and yes, I > have actually asked them. Well, Mozilla license definitely is an open-source license. It's just that the Mozilla packages in Fedora are non-free. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
