And probably your own Fedora system too. I suppose that everything would depend on how we would define the system "universe" (limits, etc.)
This is serious hand waving. Debian has a non-free repository hosted by Debian. Fedora does not.
Probably what makes to Red Hat (and therefore Fedora) be away from non-free bytes are not actually principles, but caution against possible legal issues. As the (Chaucer universal well-known) saying goes..."to make a virtue of necessity".
No. There are hundreds of very safe legal gratis non-free software. Fedora does ship them out of principles. No second guessing required.
