There are many more where those came from, we must cleanse the evil scourge of non-free firmware from Debian NOW! Otherwise users might be able to install Debian onto their non-compliant hardware instead of sticking with the status quo (Windows XP). Here are a few suspicious looking files in Debian kernel 2.6.4: drivers/usb/image/hpusbscsi.h drivers/usb/image/microtek.c drivers/usb/media/ibmcam.c drivers/usb/media/pwc_kiara.h drivers/usb/media/pwc_timon.h drivers/usb/media/ultracam.c drivers/usb/media/vicam.c drivers/usb/misc/emi26_fw.h drivers/usb/misc/emi62_fw_m.h drivers/usb/misc/emi62_fw_s.h drivers/usb/net/kawethfw.h drivers/usb/serial/io_fw_boot.h drivers/usb/serial/io_fw_boot2.h drivers/usb/serial/io_fw_down.h drivers/usb/serial/io_fw_down2.h drivers/usb/serial/io_fw_down3.h drivers/usb/serial/safe_serial.c drivers/usb/serial/whiteheat_fw.h Of course there are many more I didn't take the time to document.
