Please explain.

I quote Fedora Project Leader Max Spevack:

"But ultimately for Fedora the goal is Free software. Including
support for proprietary drivers in our distribution would violate that
tenet, but we believe it is important enough that we don't compromise.
All distributions face this challenge, and it is at times a difficult
question to answer. But I am proud of the fact that Fedora's choice
has been consistently in favor of freedom in software.

By choosing not to ship any proprietary or binary drivers, Fedora does
differ from other distributions. Ubuntu is one example, as there is
very strong language about their commitment to Free and open source
software, right up until the line stating that they include
binary-only drivers on their CDs and in their repositories."
