Re: firmware-linux package non-free?

[jai lali <lalijai@gmail.com>]

The non-free packages are not licensed to distribute or modify. So the debian is maintaining under non-free section of the repository. So the customer should download the non-free package from lenny is the only way to do. 

It it already splited  and maintained in the debian repository.

I was wondering if really all blobs in the firmware-linux package are non-free.
Especially the Radeon drivers would be nice if they could be in main, so that they are present on the disks/images. Otherwise I would have to install the non-free package after upgrading to squeeze on my machines to get the same hardware support as in lenny.

Is it possible to split that package?
