you seem to keep coming back upon made decisions.
Agreed. I find it a bit woeful as well that we're reneging on decisions we
made during the forming of rpmfusion.
On the other hand, Thorsten is doing much much much more work for rpmfusion then
I've ever done. Thus I'm inclined to just shut up and accept it.
And Fedora Legal actually has cleared doing that (linking to
rpmfusion from the
wiki), this is something which still has to be implemented, but the permission
is there. This was one of the main reasons to do the free / non-free split, to
give Fedora something it can link to without even giving the appearance of
promoting non free software.
Do not forget that one of the main reasons for fusion was the plan to
implement the Fedora + 1 repository concept for all software needs.
Right now we're probably at Fedora + rpmfusion + livna + adobe...
That's at least one, possibly two to many.
