The DFSG still apply to GNU/kFreeBSD, so we can only distribute binaries that we have built from source. This script removes all blobs we're aware of from the kernel before it is built: https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/glibc-bsd/trunk/kfreebsd-10/debian/prune.sh?view=markup We compile some Adaptec firmwares from source which are freely licensed. The radeonkms.ko module contains no microcode, so it does not work unless firwmares are downloaded to /lib/firmware/ by choice of the user. I think Intel Wi-Fi, and maybe some other drivers support loading firmware that way. Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain steven@pyro.eu.org
