Linux-libre project meets rocky reception
,----[ Quote ]
| At the same time, Oliva began promoting his ideas in the Fedora project by
| creating a Fedora Freedom project. True, the Fedora licensing guidelines
| specifically exclude non-free firmware from consideration. However, given
| Fedora's original goal "to build a complete, general purpose operating system
| exclusively from free software," to say nothing of the enthusiasm in the
| project for Greg DeKoenigsberg's suggestion that "Freedom is a feature" be
| used as a project slogan, Oliva hoped that the idea would find some welcome.

Binary blobs, free software, and Fedora

| Given the people involved with Fedora, and the work that has been done
| to eliminate packages with problematic licensing, the author has no
| qualms in saying that Fedora is a truly free distribution. It is
| unfortunate that the work which has gone into the creation of this
| distribution is not as widely recognized as it should be. If we want
| to promote free software, and if we want to live in a world where we
| can use exclusively free software, we should not hesitate to
| acknowledge the work of those who have built free systems, and who
| have not given in to those pushing for the addition of proprietary
| code. They are doing the work we so very much want to see done, and
| we are far richer for it.
