Enabling 'install third-party software' by default installs two different types of packages by default: free, patent-problematic packages (like gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly and gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad) and non-free packages (like flashplugin-installer). Maybe we should split those two types and decide separately. Maybe we should have to checkboxes.
My opinion: We should enable free, patent-problematic packages, but disable non-free packages by default. This gives us still a completely free system by default. Allowing non-free by default opens the door for even more non-free stuff. Where would be the line to draw? Flash is important for most users, but unrar is important too. So we should install unrar by defaut too? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/723831 Title: Installer – The option to 'install third-party software' when installing Ubuntu should be selected by default (aka "make Youtube work") -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
