Please explain how making an image available that runs under the free vmplayer 'supports' proprietary software any more than making an iso image available 'supports' CD and media manufacturers.
Pretty simple. Vmware is proprietary software.
No argument there. But, you aren't providing or supporting it by providing an image that can run under it. You would be supporting your users that would find that option useful.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if Fedora Core specifically targets a proprietary piece of software that virtualizes a machine and sets out to run Fedora Core under that proprietary software, then Fedora Core is *supporting* that proprietary software.
Mike, you're smarter than this. I know it, I've seen it. Give up this crusade.
