> Again, this is why I feel like the labeling effectively solves
the
problem already. Perhaps "delineate" would be better here, but I
understand you may not feel labeling is *enough* delineation. I would
encourage some better language here, though, and that if you don't want to
dictate implementation, don't. :-)
Do you have a suggestion for alternate wording? I know you're not on the
council, but anyone is free to help. :)
What about:
"The Council recognizes including select third-party non-free software in
search results is a valid experiment to advance Fedora's mission. Search
results should prioritize free and open source software, clearly specify
that there is no endorsement, and offer links to Fedora-prepared
educational information. Additionally, default configuration in Fedora
Editions and Spins must not show non-free search results initially without
an additional user interface action. This action need not be onerous, can
be persistent, and the interface can indicate these non-free results are
available upon action."
Only slightly different, but I think it avoids a bit of potential
bikeshedding and is easier to read.
