Let me mention a few.\n\n1. Online-desk top: The world of free software has "fought" proprietary software for many years\, only to partner up with the WWW behemoth that Google is. The purpos e of the online-desktop is to integrate online services like flickr and Goo gle with the rest of the system. Despite their public APIs online services are proprietary software just like Microsoft Office. Should we ban any appl ication that makes it easy to access such services?\n\n2. Firmware: Oh how I love that my network card works perfectly immediately after a fresh insta ll\, but there is no doubt that it contradicts the spirit of free sw.\n\n3. Codec buddy: Already mentioned and discussed. But would we allow a similar solution if Nvidia decided to create a Video Buddy?\n\nConclusion: I think there are many issues that are far more controversial than the autodownloa der scripts. The effort made by Hans has made Fedora a great gamers platfor m\, and I do not think many end-users would understand the rational for rem oving them if this is what is the result from this discussion.\n\nRegards\, \n-- \nTrond Danielsen\n\n\n\n\nSe hendelsen din på http://www.google.com/c alendar/event?action=VIEW&ueid=q5bogkh18uo23j19p05sn1rvhg.
