Do the Fedora guidelines allow packaging of software that will show
advertisement to the user?
I think it's difficult define what precisely is an advertisement, but I
hope Fedora will be able to avoid this trap, particularly because
advertising is so much about tracking users these days.
Are there any existing packages that already do that?
Install mozilla-noscript and run:
$ sandbox -t sandbox_web_t -X firefox
You will see visually obnoxious nag screen. The Mozilla tab might
qualify as an ad as well.
There is also the Emacs startup screen, but I find it less invasive.
