I just got this in my email: http://www.linspire.com/linspire_letter_archives.php?id=38 So Linspire is planning to port CNR to Fedora, Debian, SuSE and Ubuntu? Have they actually talked to anyone in Fedora about this yet? Doesn't really say what this entails, if its just a fancy front end to our existing repos and yum, that would be pretty sweet and possibly save us some trouble. If they're usurping our packages and repos, then we have a problem... (I'm about 500 messages behind so ignore me if this is a repost...)
After looking at the FAQ and screenshots on the site it doesnt appear they really need to collaborate beyond using the Fedora repositories+ some proprietary packages on their own, add some metadata on top and present a good web/client interface. Why is that a problem for us? If we want to we can build add such (optional) metadata ourselves to the the repomd and present such a interface too. The CNR has also been under a Free software license for a while.
