We can certainly go through the guidelines. We have not yet done so,
but we know of one problem in the current policy: it says that
packages can be included which qualify as open source but not as free
software. In other words, not all packages need to meet the
definition of free software.
Ok, why not add "free (with source codes) and opensource software" in
FE guidelines to satisfy this criteria ?
If you see the discussions on the main page that should clear up your
confusion. We could change the guidelines but there are software
licenses that we dont yet know FSF's position on that we include in
Fedora. Spot has been sending these to FSF but license reviews take time.
