Looks like Francis was the only one to actually read my status report and it caused some discussion at the end of the IRC meeting.
So I would like to clarify some bits: - we won't take the non-oss repo away and it will be easy to download flash, acroread or your preferred application - we will continue providing a non-oss addon CD with a stricter EULA - we want to make the EULA _really_ simple in using only OSS, currently the EULA (if you read it) forbids you to distribute copies of your downloaded openSUSE - because of the non-oss software bundled
So the question is: do we (as project) want to set a sign in making it a bit more difficult to install non-oss software or is the ease of use preferred over a simply license? We're very open for your feedback, but Michl, AJ and me as openSUSE management team would prefer to use open source only on the default medium.
I think that this is a very reasonable and well considered approach. You are not restricting or denying anything, only changing the method of access.
