Hi,

Agreed. It's a nice way of getting legal support for these things should the
user opt for them, while still keeping the Fedora as-is Free.

Perhaps this could be expanded in some way.

If Fedora finds any unsupported hardware it could display a dialog
informing the user:

- device class and vendor
- link to vendors homepage
- vendors contact to click (thus launching the email client) and ask for
linux-support (pre-filled email-text ?)
- link to fedoras wiki for explaning
	a) why this happened (binary only firmware, ...)
	b) instructions to get it running

I did suggest something very similar at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2007-March/msg00139.html
Apparently there isn't much traction to this idea.
