You seem to entirely miss the point here. One more time supporting secureboot does not limit what you can do in any way. It allows you to do more then without (out of the box support on newer hardware, secure boot process). You don't like it which is fine, but claiming that supporting secureboot will make fedora non free is just wrong PERIOD. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
