Subject: [Tails-ux] RFC: Phrasing for warning users when running in a non-free VM
Howdy all,

I've attached a patch to issue 5315 [1] to warn users when running in
a non-free VM (VMWare/Oracle/etc.) I'd like to seek comments on the
actual text of the warning. My draft patch has:
"Both the host operating system and the virtualization software are
able to monitor what you are doing in Tails. Additionally, non-free
virtualization software cannot be independently audited or inspected
for defects."

For reference, free (speech) VM users will receive the same warning as
they do now, which is:
"Both the host operating system and the virtualization software are
able to monitor what you are doing in Tails."

Please CC me on replies, as I'm not subscribed to this list.
