+Subject: [PATCH 5/5] FSDG: Disable Firefox Translations for now
+
+Although fully local translation is a great achievement, I'd hesitate to keep it 
+enabled for now, because of the following concerns:
+
+1. According to the FSDG [1]:
+
+ > All information for practical use in a free distribution must be available in 
+source form.
+ 
+ Translation models are downloaded as Remote Settings attachments, see their 
+paths on the attachment server, for example in [2] in the source tree. The 
+hostname of that server is returned by Remote Settings server, access to which 
+is disabled by 9001-FSDG-sync-remote-settings-with-local-dump.patch and 
+PKGBUILD. So in my understanding, to comply with the FSDG, the distro has to 
+make sources of those models available. It looks like those can be found using 
+info from [4], but even then...
+ 
+2. According to FSDG [3]:
+
+ > a free system distribution cannot include free software that can only be 
+built by using nonfree software.
+ 
+ It depends on whether those models can be considered software (or "information 
+for practical use" in case the FSDG is not totally precise when talking only 
+about software here). While the models are freely licensed [4], their README 
+mentions the first training pipeline [5] that lists CUDA and CUDNN in the 
+requirements. Both are nonfree and blocklisted in Parabola. Further research is 
+needed on possibility to make the models with 100% free software stack.
+
+3. Because calls to Remote Settings server are disabled, as mentioned above, the 
+models won't be downloaded anyway, and Firefox Translations feature will be 
+broken, so keeping it enabled would lead to poor user experience. An alternative 
+would be to use something like [6], but that requires additional research and 
+probably has the same issues with the toolchain for the models.
