That's not the reason why *I'm* doing this work. I wouldn't oppose if people patched the 100% Free kernel by (re-)introducing stuff that depend on loading non-Free firmware, as long as the firmware itself is not included in the 100% Free kernel (not even its sources). I'm just not interested in doing this work myself. It's much simpler for me to simply remove the offending code. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ FSF Latin America Board Member http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
