There's a certain amount of trust required in accepting a USB key from *anyone* (even if you were to order one directly from Yubico, RSA, Adafruit, etc.). If we move to requiring tokens, I think it's entirely certain that we would allow anyone to provide their own that we enroll. I assume that Matthew's offer was for us to be able to help those who (for one reason or another) cannot afford one. In that situation, the provenpackagers would be making a three way decision: 1) Stop being a provenpackager, 2) buy their own token or 3) accept one provided by Fedora. I am not a lawyer, but I would assume that if Fedora offered to provide such a token, it would be reviewed by Legal and provide some form of legally-binding assertion that we weren't sending out malicious devices. -- _______________________________________________ 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
