I understand it but a couple of wiki pages don't serve that case very
well.   I could setup a redirect now in a couple of minutes and the
argument is lost.  If you want to argue that point, the MUCH better example
is proprietary firmware.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines?rd=Packaging/LicensingGuidelines#Binary_Firmware

We clearly have made a concession there and you could argue that we are
extending that concession to cover more types of non-free software.   I
don't necessarily agree but atleast it is a relatively strong argument
compared to some random wiki pages.
