It has been adequately explained why Fedora Core / Extras don't carry
non-free software or why Fedora Core isn't shipping out-of-tree drivers.

The fact that other distributions (such as Ubuntu) include non-free
software / out-of-tree drivers is hardly on topic on the development
list for Fedora - it's just sad that they're effectively are undoing a
lot of hard work done by Fedora and a few others that care about free
software.

Please take this elsewhere. Thanks.
