Could you please make this thread die, immediately if not sooner? Yes, you are correct that these discussions are relevant to the future of Free Software, Open Source, Fedora, and any other label you want to attach to the conversation. However, this presents a few large problems. First, Richard Hughes is right. This mailing list is intended for technical discussions *only*. I'm sure many people on this list are more than willing to participate in such conversations, and even find it valuable to do so, but this is the wrong place for it. Period. Second, there are a number of other mailing lists better suited for this discussion. Why are you leaving those people out of the conversation? Third, this mailing list is highly flammable. Bringing up the issue *again* about how freedom is important just encourages more posts on the same topic. People here have had enough of the topic on this list already. Continuing to defend your decision to post to the wrong mailing list is only going to drive our developers away from this mailing list. So please do us a favour. Either move this conversation to another mailing list, or just drop it and let it die. If you want to comment on this message, please discuss it with me off list, or if you really honestly feel this conversation needs to be in public (and I really don't,) there is the fedora-advisory-board mailing list. I'm sure they could 'advise' us both what the correct usage of a development oriented mailing list is. -Yaakov -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
