Thanks for noticing the discrepancy!

The current mockup for how the page in GNOME Initial Setup should look
is at the top of:

 https://hackmd.io/@owtaylor/fedora-third-party-repos

and is in-fact a classic opt-in. (*)

The mockup tries to reduce the risk of an inexperienced user being
confused by terms like "third party" and "repository" by mentioning
specific software.I'll look at embedding that in the change proposal
and will make sure that the text is consistent.

(*) The text of the Third-Party Repository policy is "the user must
explicitly enable third-party repositories to install from them" - I
don't think a checked-by-default box would be in agreement with that.
