Couldn't stop myself from trying the new Fedora 2-test1 release, even if it is an alpha! The 2.6 kernel, KDE 3.2 and Gnome 2.5 all in the same release was just to much candy to turn away from; too bad it's more sour rather than sweet at this (beta) point than I would have expected.

It amazes me that when an author just wants to share his/her experience with a release and asks for others to contribute their opinion based on they experience with the release, we end up with flame-wars over licensing.
As for licensing, it simply is a choice by a company to include or not include a piece of software. Gentoo, Debian, SuSe and many others give their software away but include what I feel is software needed for this distribution to become mainstream on the desktop. Is it right? Don't know. But according to the people and companies we service, unless it become simpler to update, contains the software people need and use everyday, and is user-friendly and stable, it won't get adapted by the mainstream user.
