The work currently happening in Fedora doesn't create new licenses.
Folks go through the subset of existing long known and critical packages and convert them to SPDX format. They simply uncover complexity of the open-source licensing which existed for years.

@d8d89216 We need some charismatic UX designer to write a Manifesto which will say that readability of a page is not the only criteria of the good design, and there might be other things.
All this spacing, larger fonts, icons, avatars, etc, look logical if you focus on the task of making a static page readable.
But one day people will realize that *some* interfaces may need to be optimized for like "unit of meaningful content per second" and we will get our "walls of text" back :)
@822a3c32 On one hand I get that whole idea that everyone tries to build a social network for no good reason.
On the other, they also do sell a product to enterprise customers. Maybe they disable features like that in those enterprise editions?
I can not imagine people paying money for a development platform so that their employees can be distracted with some attention grabbing.
These should be the same enterprises which often try to block twitter and Co on a company firewall.
I wonder who was that marketing/PO person who came up with the idea that users of Git forge are interested in seeing "trending repositories" in their dashboard.
Like what exactly "as a user of GitHib platform", I am supposed to do with this information?
Stop writing code I am writing and go write code for a trendy repo? Why? How? Where is logic in this?..
If we treat "trending repos" block as advertisement, then it makes slightly more sense, but still,
advertisement for an unrelated github repo(!) placed in front of me while I am trying to do some work..
how does it fit?
@2c480aca and the worst part is that it is exactly the same behavior which FOSS community likes to complain about, when we talk about choosing privacy-aware tools over data-harvesting services, for example.
We demand users, customers, friends to not follow the marketing baits and to let go some of their comfort for a greater good and the success of Linux and FOSS. Yet when it comes to us, developers, doing the same, we fail.
