Here is our proposal for new discussion.
*Ship any media of openSUSE with open source software and proprietary software which allows redistribution (eg. firmware), for details [3].
*Add during installation automatically an online repo with the non-OSS stuff and install per default flashplayer (5MB) and the fluendo plug-in (210K) for mp3.
I generally like the proposal. But actually i would like to have a pop-up that "warns" the user before adding the non-OSS repo and installing the software. Some people might want to have a "clean" system, with a pop-up you can easily have that. I agree that many people don't care about the license, but some do. Fully agreed. There needs to be an easy way not to install software you might not like. The expression "automatically" is missleading. M
I'm not sure if it's smart to do this during the installation. If you are in a local network it's fine, but if you have to configure DSL, modem or WLAN first? Maybe it could be done during the first online update (again with a pop-up*) or have an icon on the desktop.
But thats just how it could work technical ...
*yes, everybody loves pop-ups -- with kind regards,
