As I understand it, you have the freedom to purchase a $99 key from Microsoft which you can then use to install Fedora on those locked ARM devices designed for Windows 8. The current proposal is that Fedora does NOT spend the $99 on an ARM key, but any Fedora user could circumvent that. Admittedly most likely with a bit of annoying paperwork and key juggling. Hopefully the technical part would be made quite easy because it would be like the process for running self-signed on x86. Fedora also has the ability to change its collective mind at any time; if it is discovered that it makes more sense to sign Fedora ARM with a key from Microsoft, then Fedora has that option open. This whole business is leaving an awfully bad taste in my mouth but I have no ideas which are better than the original proposal. /Benny -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
