My main concern is whether we have some decent-looking fonts in a default installation. Without the Core fonts we only have Bitstream Vera and the GNU FreeFont (which may be enough - not sure). I personally don't have major problems with the Core fonts license, given that it's a "leaf" dependency (nothing else depends on it, so it's easy to get rid of for users who want a fully free OS). It might be nice to have an option to disable the use of all non-free packages (such as the NVIDIA drivers). -- Eelco Dolstra | http://www.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/~dolstra/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@cs.uu.nl https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
