wishlist programs

Hi all, I think it might be a good practice for anyone suggesting a piece of software to be included to first contact the software author to make sure it is ok with him/her that their package be included. This is not a legal issue it's a friendliness issue. Authors might not know that their work might be in fedora core and they might not be happy when they are bombarded with feature requests, "bugs", and patches. If the package is open source and not TM or patent infringing nor dmca violating then it is of course legal to include it, but it'd be a lot friendlier to give the author the option to figure out if s/he wants to deal with a fairly serious exposure increase. -sv
