I'm going to file branch requests for all mine.
thx; just wondering: should we add links to the merged SRPMs, too? Then
I would volunteer to import them and build then, wich should speed
things up.
I will assume for now that software which cannot go to Fedora for
other reasons
then patents, like the DMCA (emulators) will go to non-free.
Not sure -- likely needs to be decided on a case by case basis (but I'm
not familar with the leagal stuff around emulators). But nonfree is
likely the safest bet -- I expect moving a package from nonfree to free
alter shouldn't be a big deal.
