Would it also be possible to use a different term than "Third

happening now is that the repositories from the

repositories" accompanied by the notice on how some of these may be
proprietary, and other third party repositories that users may have
enabled themselves, such as Adobe/Dropbox/RPMFusion are coming up
in a separate section. This isn't quite intuitive---it almost gives one
the feeling that the latter are not "third party".
Sure, suggestions for better wording are very welcome. This is the best
we've managed to come up with so far.

I see this is up at the moment. It isn't updated, though (A ticket has
been filed for Nvidia repositories etc already but I didn't want to update
the page myself because I'm not completely sure of the complete process
at the moment)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Third_party_software_list
I would really like whatever page we link to to have a clear, end-user
targeted summary of free software and our commitment to it right at the
top, and then possibly a rationale as to why we're making it easy for
users to install some very commonly used proprietary software to improve
usability.
Yes. I believe mattdm wanted to have a new
docs.fedoraproject.org page
with end-user facing text that we can link to from gnome-software.
