No, the kernel packages depend on kernel-firmware, and the kernel package itself contains non-Free firmware and microcode. Besides, both kernel and kernel-firmware contain Free Software too, which you presumably wouldn't want to remove. Your best bet to avoid non-Free Software from Fedora is probably to resort to Freed-ora Linux-libre builds, available from http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/, and to exclude *-firmware and microcode_ctl from the Fedora repositories. -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter http://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist Red Hat Brazil Compiler Engineer -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
