Differences of opinion, as well as outright disputes, between
upstream open-source projects and Linux distribution packagers over
packaging practices are nothing new. It is rarer, though, for those
disputes to boil over to threats of legal action—but a
disagreement between the Open
Broadcaster Software (OBS) Studio project and Fedora packagers
reached that point in mid-February. After escalation to a higher
authority things have been worked out to the satisfaction of the OBS
project, but some lingering questions remain. How Fedora should
prioritize Flatpak repositories,
how to handle conflicts between upstreams and Fedora packagers, and
the mechanics of removing or retiring Flatpaks all remain open
questions.

Firefox will always continue to add new features, improve existing
ones, and test new ideas. We remain dedicated to making Firefox
open source, but we believe that doing so along with an official
Terms of Use will give you more transparency over your rights and
permissions as you use Firefox. And actually asking you to
acknowledge it is an important step, so we’re making it a part of
the standard product experience starting in early March for new
users and later this year for existing ones.

Specifically, the apparent
removal of a promise to not sell users’ personal data has drawn
attention.

analysis by Michael Taggart. “So, is this Mozilla ‘going evil?’
Nah, prolly not. But it is at best clumsy, and a poor showing if they want
me to believe they care about Firefox, rather than the data it can
provide“.)
