I would suggest that if you want this, you get busy packaging some of these trademark-unencumbered versions, taking care that they don't conflict with existing packages. I think that if done properly they would be approve just as any other package. Simply stating that Fedora should do something, however, doesn't get it done. (In reply to comment #1) > Simply stating that Fedora should do something, however, > doesn't get it done. I understand that. For now, I am just entering the bug that it is desirable. The packages generic-logos, generic-release, generic-release-notes are available which remove trademarked material in fedora-logos, fedora-release, and fedora-release-notes respectively. If you have other specific trademark-related inclusions that are not solved with these packages, please feel free to list specifics here.

Yes, I'm very grateful for that work! > If you have other specific trademark-related inclusions that are not solved > with these packages, please feel free to list specifics here. The one I am currently aware of is Firefox. It is in the "depends on" field. (In reply to comment #4) > The one I am currently aware of is Firefox. It is in the "depends on" field. You miss (at least) Thunderbird, but please don't do file these bugs against Firefox/Thunderbid etc. I don't think any Firefox/Thundebird maintainers have free capacity to resolve these bugs. I think better would be to make a package and then make Package Review request bug. |
