Hi Bernd
The decision to include non-free firmware in Lenny concerns the whole project.
Providing support for some of our users who would have otherwise been excluded
by this decision is, therefore, something that concerns the whole project as
well.
In spite that you don't, I'm certain many of our users will appreciate this.
Love,
