Mission

Goal: to get all legally available firmware needed to get devices to work packaged for / in Fedora so that a users devices which require firmware will just work

We aim to accomplish this goal through a variety of activities:

  • Creating packages of firmware
  • Contact manufacturers asking them under which conditions their firmware may be redistributed
  • Contact manufacturers requesting them to modify their firmware redistribution conditions, to make them Fedora compatible

Packaging guidelines

In addition to the standard Packaging:Guidelines, it is imported to realise that firmware does not need to be under a free software / oss license. As long as it may be freely redistributed without restriction, it may be packaged.
