These sandboxed applications is not just for proprietary software. I don't think it'll replace the current distribution model. It will generate some competition. IMO competition is good, instead of preventing sandboxed applications, show that the packaged applications are preferred. Now such distribution of applications also easily allow proprietary applications: Awesome, finally! Easy to run Steam, Photoshop, etc. The kernel is GPL and doesn't force this licence on Adobe. You can have whatever license you want as application. These sandboxed applications do suffer from various drawbacks, so better to believe in your solution than to try and block another view IMO. -- Regards, Olav -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
