I guess that's a good statement, it's disquising firmware, not necessarily
as Free Software, but disguising it.  We should be honest enough to accept
that it {does,may} contain software that is run on processors and maybe
(to be decided by vote) decide to accept this for the time being and ship
it regardlessly (or not...).
