The current release policy says that all firmware not licensed under GPL-compatible licenses needs to be removed. It also says that any sourceless firmware needs to be removed. http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2004/06/msg00064.html Depending on the outcome of GRs, it might change so that only the former class has to be removed. Either way, firmware not licensed under a GPL-compatible license needs to be removed. -- Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org>
