Hello,
I have some concerns about the Clementine music player application as packaged in Fedora. The concerns involve the Spotify integration feature.
The application uses Spotify's trademarks and their copyrighted logo and suggests that the user pull in a proprietary application called "Spotify Core" to use the feature. This effectively makes the feature a stub that pulls in proprietary software.
I'm wondering if any of this is in violation of any Fedora packaging guidelines for the issues I've raised.
Thank you.

After thorough review, we've concluded this is all in keeping with the Fedora guidelines:
* The trademark use is in compliance with Spotify's terms of use for third-party applications. * The Clementine app as packaged in Fedora is not shipping the spotify proprietary blob, leaving it up to the user to decide whether they wish to download it.
