That's a good question. I get the impression that Sinit (as the blob seems to be called) is from Intel. Intel is a hardware company. Selling licenses for unfree software isn't their business model, and they're already involved in writing free drivers for their graphics and wifi chips. If Intel is pushing to have this feature included in Fedora, what prevents them from setting Sinit free? Björn Persson
