We are about to introduce few new repositories. Here are the proposed policies for each of them: - Tained repos: RPM Fusion only allows packages that are redistributable. But until then the redistributable status was only analysed with respect to copyrights holder and not rights related to (software) reverse engineering in order to allow inter-operability on some systems [1] * tainted-free: This is about packages that are in a FLOSS compatible licence. But may have some usage restriction in some country. Not related to any particular patent. This is the case for libdvdcss. * tainted-nonfree: The plan is to introduce packages that do not have a FLOSS compatible license and clear redistribution by the copyright holder. But is allowed as part of inter-operability in some countries. The aims is to allow firmware such as b43-firmware nouveau-firmware (for video hw support on older chips) or dvb-firmware Theses repositories will - not - be installed by default in the rpmfusion-*-release package but can be fetched by using dnf install rpmfusion-{,non}free-tainted as needed. There is still a non-replacement policy that apply to this repository. - Drivers repos: There is a request by a certain Fedora SIG [2] to provide these repositories which only contains a limited set of packages already provided by RPM Fusion and related to hardware support. This is specially needed for atomic,ostree,flatpak install where applications will be provided by others means * drivers-free: only provides libva-intel-drivers * drivers-nonfree: only provides nvidia driver (main serie). The goal is to fetch the .repo files from a web location (or even to have fedora to ship a default file that will be enabled on user request). The non-replacement policy apply for theses repository in fedora, but for EL, we may introduce a mesa replacement package in order to have a libglvnd enabled mesa for the nvidia nonfree driver there. (the default nvidia driver in rpmfusion-nonfree will still use mesa from the base OS). If others components are introduced in theses repositories (such as any kmod-foo), we may provide pre-built kmod for an appropriate kernel for these components. (still to be studied). Any comments ?
