Hello list :)

I now it's impossible to stop discussion for me, so i could only post my
personnal point of view.

First:
I am Libre software user.
I am pragmatic.

Then :
Please not use any non-free (as libre) software into Mageia distribution or
repository. Never.
There is, however, a very strict frontier : we could only include
hardware imperative necessity, such as firmware for network cards.

No nonfree drivers when free equivalent are possibles, no flash, no nonfree
browser, no patent-troll tech : anything but free. And only exception for
no-equivalent firmware hardware support.

###

Another point of view, on repo orga now :
This is not Europe of supporting U.S. patents.
But the U.S. repo sysadmin to be able to comply with law og their own
countries.

I think all non-free could be supported directly by users and accessibles
through "users repo". Not in (only one please) Mageia Repo. And Users Repo
could contains drivers, patent-troll techno, flash, etc, in additon with
more classicals softwares into "users repo".

benefits :
Free for all
Keep Mageia Free as Libre.
Dont block Mageia install due to firmware cause. Important to have
easy-as-possible hardware support.
Open second repo for users, and give reasons in donate non-free softwares to
users support.


Regards
