 are nothing is only black and white\; most of the stuff we ship will fall i
 nto a gray area one way or another. 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\,
