Thank you for this.

Too bad Fedora is taking a step away from its goal in release 7,
introducing non-Free Software (even if only firmware), but it's very
good to know that the goal is what I'd always thought it to be.


Now, those who dismiss firmware freedom issues as irrelevant might
want to have a look at the material FSFLA prepared for FLISoL, a Free
Software install fest all over Latin American, that took place
yesterday, that in part addresses this very issue.
