It looks like there's a lot of confusion as to what I'm talking about. For the nth time, I'm not talking about removing the non-Free firmware that's "hidden" in the kernel. Not doing so is a stand-still that might be acceptable. I'm talking about *not* adding *more* non-Free firmware as separate packages. Adding them is a step away from freedom, the stated goal of the project. That said, yes, cleaning the Fedora kernel from non-Free firmware sounds like an interesting project I should probably get my hands on. But don't let this other topic get you confused as to the point I'm trying to bring up here. It's just a distraction. -- 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
