Secondly, IMHO, allowing fee-charging downloads is an anti-feature of an application repository that I specifically do not want. One of the nicest features of GNU/Linux is that I can just open the package manager and download whatever I want without having to pay anything. And finally, Red Hat trying to monetize the Desktop would be the worst nightmare. I do not want my desktop GNU/Linux to be "monetized" by anyone, neither by Red Hat nor by any other company. Kevin KoflerWhat is so wrong about buying open source software?
The real question should be how to compensate for the expenses/ressources so that the development is substantially maintained. Any more concepts? The mentioned one is just one way. I actually would suggest a micro-pay approach, not for the software but for the motivation of the developers ... -- Leon _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
