wishlist programs

[seth vidal]

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.
