The following links should help answer this: - https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/#_what_is_fedora (with particular stress on the Foundations) - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items?rd=ForbiddenItems - https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/setup_rpmfusion/ - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Third_Party_Software_Repositories Devs are free to install whatever distro they choose. Fedora is dev friendly, but we are also FOSS friendly (to say the least). It shouldn't be too hard for devs to install things with these available resources. Additionally, we'd really like devs to use FOSS as much as possible, and yes, we are aware that isn't always possible and when it is, it sometimes requires extra work. What we will not do is include proprietary software the way other OSes you have used as examples do even if legal would allow it (I don't know what they allow---merely referring to your statement here). That simply isn't Fedora. :) -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
