I was expanding on the assertion icecat is 'more free'. As someone who's been using Fedora for quite some time you might conclude I have some sympathy for the argument, but I notice fedora does not prevent me adding third party repositories or installing RPMs that have licenses it disagrees with. Also, given the existence of things like iceweasel the reader might have concluded 'more free' in this context meant free of trademarks. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
