No way.
You don't consider firmware as data, you say ok, we aknowledge that for a
certain non-determined subgroup of firmware which are actually programs, we
lack those sources, but still distribute it.
Anything else is misleading and false, and furthermore will muddle the water
for our users and the discourse toward the manufacturers.
