Hi all,
I write a article about firmware and blobs on my blog [1], where I suggest the creation of a wiki page about blobs, proprietary kernel and firmwares. I think it's really necessary, because I don't found any information about the proprietary kernel and blobs in Fedora. If you search, you can found some informations about firmwares (in the Legal part of packaging). In my opinion, we need an official policy written somewhere. So, I require your help to write this page because I don't have the required informations, and official positions... But I can help to write them :) Chris Roberts volunteered to re-tag this page.
Thank you in advance,
Alexandre

What official policy are you looking for? We have this:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Binary_Firmware
If you want to make some sort of "firmware" in the linux kernel tracking page, feel free. It's a wiki. :)
