Although there is non-Free Software included in Fedora, AFAIK the most serious issue is a matter of policy ("non-Free Software is acceptable"; "shipping these non-Free bits are not bugs that need fixing right away") rather than the actual presence of non-Free Software. If the right policies were in place, given enough manpower, all non-Free Software would be eventually shoved out of Fedora. With the current policies, more and more non-Free Software is being welcomed into Fedora.
