We currently have a draft policy for third party software on the wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Third_party_software_proposal
Many of the WG members have probably seen this in an early draft form. I'd like to see if WG members could check over it again and at least indicate here on list if they're generally in agreement with it, so we can start to discuss it with the Council and identify where they might have suggestions. We wouldn't want to do that without some consensus that the WG as a whole is good with it.

One other thing... I made a quick vote table for an idea Michael C had about RPM requirements. Just add your name in the appropriate column. Using the "lazy consensus" model, at the very least if no one puts in a -1 by next week, I'll just add that bit to the draft.
I voted on the proposal. I also added my own, namely, that third party repos must not break Fedora's dependency chains.
John.
Voting is intended for the Workstation working group members. Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough. Thanks for the input; we'll consider this for the draft.

+1 from me
Please fix the duplication of the Principles section ("While the inclusion process is one of procurement")
Added some edit notes and did a +1. Seems we lost the text about 3rd parties not being allowed to mess with the system, aka not replace Fedora provided RPMs with their own, so we need to add that back in there somehow.
