Those aren't advertisements; the developers of the software in question have not paid anything to have them placed there (no-one has paid anyone anything to have them placed there, well, other than Red Hat paying the anaconda developers who wrote the code that displays them). They were drawn by the Fedora artwork / design teams, AIUI, based on nothing more ominous than their perception of what information people installing Fedora might find useful. Mostly they exist because the installation screen is very boring without them. The fact that they're images in the shape of a long short rectangle does not make them "advertisements". :) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
