Free Software DVD contains non-free firmware



Hello Debian CD Images team.

I decided to switch to the latest version (12.1.0), and encountered the following issues:

1) Looks like this DVD image: 
        https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/
        https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-12.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
which is supposed to be Free Software only, actually contains 3rd party non-free firmware.
The way I discovered it was that my 6th gen Lenovo ThinkPad x1 carbon wifi card started working, while with 11.6 and prior it didn't have the firmware and was disabled because of that.

This image is labeled as 
"Debian GNU/Linux 12.1.0 _Bookworm_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 with firmware 20230722-10:49".
Was there some kind of mistake when publishing the images?

2) Also, when I tried to download this disk [DVD-1] using jigdo, I ended up getting an image of the first disk that wasn't bootable.

Thanks and Regards, John Amirov.
