Re: Infinite Freedom???

Firmware IS SOFTWARE!! 

firmware = software

The FSF considers firmware as software.

If the firmware isnt free, the Fedora isnt FREE!! 

We can't change the firmware, then the firmware isn't FREE!!

Where are the Infinite Freedom ? Freedom to change the Code, to change the firmware!!

Please, read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware "firmware
 is software"

software != firmware.

The Board's current position is that firmware (that doesn't run on the host
CPU) is a reasonable exception (to modifiability).  It is our hope that
once these ground-rules are established and well understood, hardware
manufacturers will be more willing to produce/support high-quality linux
drivers (preferably in the upstream kernel).
