Any chance of getting all non-Free firmware to Require: some empty
package (say freedom-loss or proprietary-crap :-) such that:
- one could yum erase this package and end up without any non-Free
Software installed, and
- one could easily veirfy that custom distros with a subset of the
complete Fedora package set don't include any such proprietary
packages?
I actually like this idea.
+1 -- but the kernel IIRC includes a lot of firmware files directly. Are
there any efforts to strip those out?
kernel doesn't include non-free ones (I hope).
Well, sure, the firmwares in the kernel are are GPL, but are they really
"non-free"? That afaics depends on the definition of "free".
Anyway, it's not that important for Fedora now, it was more a general
question.
