Binary blobs, free software, and Fedora
,----[ Quote ]
| 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.
