Fedora has nothing to do with or any control over the package from Livna because the package from Livna, note in the name _nonfree_, contains drivers that are not FOSS. Which means, pretty much, illegal to distribute without paying a fee.Your complaint should be with Livna for releasing before Fedora not with Fedora. -- David
