To be honest, I find stallman's answers quite confusing! >From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FreeSoftwareAnalysis/FSF: > > * Would it be possible for the FSF to go through our packaging > > guidelines at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines and the > > packages included in Fedora Core and Fedora Extras aside from our own > > licensing audit and point out clear or potential issues with it? > We can certainly go through the guidelines.

Because it will not satisfy this criteria. There is open source software that the FSF considers non-free. Everything that the FSF considers "free" is also considered open source. They want us to just drop the open source.
