It's due to the license of the firmware (and the interpretation of that license, which seems a little vague and unclear). Sadly Intel don't seem that responsive to addressing the issue. It's been discussed here, in fedora-devel and on the redhat-legal (???) list so search for discussion there (before it blows up into a thousand threads again).
