I wanted to resurface the third party repository topic before we get
to next week's meeting. Currently we have the following page drafted
that discusses the new disabled repo feature currently in Fedora 22
Workstation:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/3rdPartyApps
Currently there's a policy from the Council (nee Board) on third party
repos here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Third_Party_Repository_Policy
This policy doesn't address one of the problems I believe we're trying
to solve in software -- making developer access to non-libre (but
legally OK) tools on Fedora less convoluted and burdensome.
So there's not just the question of implementation and curation, but
also getting a policy change approved by the Council.

This would make more sense to me as a Change proposal, with all the process
and publicity that comes with that. A change in Fedora like this is much
greater than the actual implementation details; treating it like a minor
gnome-software feature add isn't representative of the impact on the
project.
