Ah, sorry, I took a quick look at the wiki history and saw your name there (but 
didn't pin down the actual line) and from memory recalled you writing similar 
stuff in lwn.net comments.

Also, I wasn't arguing about the "right thing" part of it, but the "provide 
*ONLY* free and open source software" part.

To be clear: Fedora does not *ONLY* provide free and open source software, they 
also ship non-free software which cannot be modified and for which the source 
code isn't available to the general public. This isn't an accident or a bug, 
but policy.
