+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> What about a DVD including non-free packages but has the option to not

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I think the majority of the users don't care that much about proprietary

+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Well, personally, then I would just continue to use Fedora or others
+</I>&gt;<i> distribution on my computers, and keep Mageia just for the servers of

+Fedora includes non-free firmware both in repo and medias, so why prefer
+that?
