Comment 1 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2023-10-04 15:22:48 UTC
As you have noticed the patch I'm applying, you can see that I'm not distributing these filterlists in the Fedora package, which makes it compliant with Fedora Packaging Guidelines.

Do you have a specific issue?

Comment 2 mysignup27@proton.me 2023-10-04 15:57:50 UTC
To comply with Fedora packaging guidelines, the assets/assets.json file should be patched to remove the non-free components.

A free program should not depend on non-free assets.

Comment 3 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2023-10-05 13:46:22 UTC
It does not depend on them. The non-free filter lists are optional and uBlock Origin
functions without them. Fedora Council has decided that access to non-free software
can be enabled by default, e.g. in GNOME Software (unfiltered FlatHub), so I do not
see your point here.

What exactly would you like to see removed from assets/assets.json and why?

Comment 4 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2023-10-11 15:54:28 UTC
I will close this soon if no specific non-free assets distributed with the package are mentioned.

Comment 5 mysignup27@proton.me 2023-10-11 15:59:16 UTC
I see. I'll forward this to Redhat legal team.

Comment 6 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2023-10-11 16:17:10 UTC
The usual way to do it in Fedora is to block FE-Legal tracker bug and mention this on legal@ mailing list. I've just done the first for you.

Also, is this really about Fedora EPEL build or Fedora in general? If the latter, please change the Product accordingly.

Comment 7 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2024-01-10 20:15:53 UTC
Requested information not provided, so I'm closing the bug. Feel free to reopen if you can point to a specific violation.
