I'm confused; ndiswrapper is 100% open source. The drivers aren't,
but I didn't see any call to include them. If anything, the "get it
upstream first" argument applies, but I don't see how the license
issue does.
It could be seen as an "enabler" in legal circles.
That said, I don't see Red Hat removing it once it's in the upstream kernel, so that seems like the only way to get ndiswrapper in Fedora's kernels.
