Firmware IS SOFTWARE!!

firmware = software

The FSF considers firmware as software.

If the firmware isnt free, the Fedora isnt FREE!!

We can't change the firmware, then the firmware isn't FREE!!

Where are the Infinite Freedom ? Freedom to change the Code, to change the
firmware!!

Please, read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware "*firmware* is
software"
