Firmware IS SOFTWARE!! firmware = software
The FSF considers firmware as software. If the firmware isnt free, the Fedora isnt FREE!! We can't change the firmware, then the firmware isn't FREE!! Where are the Infinite Freedom ? Freedom to change the Code, to change the firmware!!

The Board's current position is that firmware (that doesn't run on the host CPU) is a reasonable exception (to modifiability). It is our hope that once these ground-rules are established and well understood, hardware manufacturers will be more willing to produce/support high-quality linux drivers (preferably in the upstream kernel). -- Rex -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
