I am not sure what the kernel binary blobs in this PR refers to.
AFAIK, the upstream kernel itself includes firmware which we dont
remove in Fedora. Our guidelides dont require source for all firmware
and just redistribution rights.
Maybe we don't want to go this far. The benefits of redistributable
firmware perhaps greatly outweigh the ideological benefits.
Firmware is nowhere near the level of evil as binary-only drivers
hooking into the kernel.
Right. I have send a list of items a while back for FSF to go through
and let me know their standing on them. I am waiting on that before we
decide how far we want to go with Fedora regarding firmware.
One of the interesting items that caught my attention in the
announcement is "builder" which is described as a tool to create
customized distributions. We have a lot of derivative distributions that
sync back to Fedora on every release or so and we should be enabling
them to do that and contribute back in a easy fashion. We might also
have a need to do derivatives and respins within the project. Someone
should look at what that tool does and whether it would fit into our needs.
