Unless i misunderstood the replies to the thread i > referenced earlier[1], i think there is some interest in doing this: I think a number of people think it's a good idea to make CC licensed content easily available to Fedora users, but it's unclear to me at least how best to do this: 1. First. What would be acceptable? Anything under a acceptable license to Fedora? So, I can make a 100MB package of all the pictures I have taken of my dogs as long as the license is ok? And can update it weekly as I take new ones? 2. Is content thats under a Fedora acceptable license, but can't be read/used by any free tools acceptable? Ie, could someone package a flash movie? 3. Is rpm the right format for this content? Perhaps it would be better to get people working on some kind of application/viewer thing that could hit the various CC content and search and download it easily for Fedora folks? Why should we package and duplicate this content for just Fedora users? 4. How would we package some content. Ie, random pictures, or clip art, or movies. If multiple things in fedora can use them, would they go into some kind of /usr/share/CC-STUFF/ dir? or what? 5. What about content thats licensed ok, but is Obscene/Adult/Objectionable/Gross? Who decides those cases? Is there any review of content? Against what guidelines? I personally think trying to get people involved in making a app that would easily search/download/use properly licensed content would be a better way to approach things than to try and (re)package everything in rpms, but perhaps I could be convinced otherwise. > cheers, > - steve kevin
