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.
