Hi,

All forbidden items can't be included by default under Fedora. But, one
can decide to install them later on.

For example, the Nvidia drivers are not Open Source, we can't include them
and we don't want to. But the Open Source community has developped an Open
Source driver for the Nvidia graphic cards. They called it "Nouveau", and
it's included by default under Fedora. Try it out, it will work.
Some users are not happy with Nouveau as it does not lower the speed of
every card (then the fan run faster, it's noisy) and they choose to
install the proprietary one through the rpmfusion.org repositories.

Please read more at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items

If they are forbidden, it's because we want to protect the user and move
the Open Source community forward.

Regards,
