I hope that some developers can help us understand deeper the objections and work together to change the situation.
Before I loaded the URL I knew he would be complaining because we have not accepted proprietary and patent encumbered formats. I think the fact that he still harps on that point diminishes the credibility of the rest of his arguments. I am personally quite glad that Fedora has a long term vision of a world of truly free software, one which can't exist if in order to get useful things done we must load up on non-free formats. Non-free formats carry a high price even if they cost no money directly. It is unfortunate that a more long term perspective seems irreconcilable with ESR's short term wishes for desktop domination. -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
