Who is usually doing this reaching out? Individual DDs like myself or official representatives like the DPL? The non-free binary blobs covered by this license apply to popular platforms like the IMX8MQ (which is used by the purism librem5 phone and the mnt reform laptop) as well as anything with a cadence edp chip like the LS2028A.
