Where?


In the licensing section where it says we are only going to include software under the FSF free software definition or OSI open source definition. For all these we are including SRPMS so source is always going to available to end users with the exception of firmware.

Your "Public Promise" proposal that makes it part of policy makes no mention of firmware and hence would be inconsistent with the rest of the guidelines.

It does not stop things like including Fleundo mp3 plugin (which is what I think you have in mind) because we are not a patent licensee in that case. It is under a Free software license which satisfies the definition.

Non-free documentation is ok to you?
