I consider natively to denote a device (in this case) that works without
the requirement of any software emulation to lead it to believe it is
functioning on a OS different from the host OS.
If a firmware blob might be considered a software emulation layer of
sorts, I wouldn't know, but still fail to see how or why whether a given
blob is free or not enters into the equation.
