This is still unrelated to the point whether Fedora is a Free distro

Because Fedora IS a Free Software distribution, with the exception of
firmware, which is not considered "software" by Fedora because it does not
run on the CPU. (And even for firmware, there are some terms which are not
OK, like banning commercial use.) The FSF does not agree on the firmware
issue, but that does not mean that Fedora's position is not consistent.
