s/I dislike/is not free software/ [*] It's not a mater of taste. Having Poppy requiring a non-free component, even indirectly (ie: the Oracle JVM that CassandraDB needs), makes it non-free. Ensuring we really only accept free software is not a bikeshed color discussion, it is really important. And that's the same topic as using non-free CDN solution (see below).

Yeah, correct: open core. So we're discussing the freeness of software we can accept. That's right on topic to me. Its dependencies, being remote (ie: commercial CDNs) *OR* local (CassandraDB, and therefore the Oracle JVM) are both non-free. And in fact, local dependencies which someone would actually need to install on his computer, are even more important than the remote ones.
