Once more time, I'm not talking about the firmware in the kernel. That's harder to remove, I agree. One has to get out of one's way to do that. I'm talking about going out of our way to *add* firmware that we could perfectly well leave for others to ship. If there's indeed commitment to Free Software, one would hope we'd eventually get to inside the kernel, but all I'm talking about ATM is the non-Free stuff that we add to the distro ourselves. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ FSF Latin America Board Member http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
