As long as I can easily and without any financial cost use kernel and drivers signed by myself, this would be OK. All this "open source" and "free software" stuff is about being able to change the software. If I understood Fedora's plan correctly, their solution implies that I cannot change the kernel or drivers without sacrificing secure boot, contrary Ubuntu's approach, right? PCMIIW.

Just add new keys to the firmware database. Any machine with a Windows logo will let you do that.

No. You can add your own key to the UEFI and sign your kernels with that
