This needs to be made clearer.

I assume that your intention is to say "GPL'd (or otherwise DFSG-free
licensed) firmware without source is allowed, but everything else is
not". But, as I understand it, the point a lot of people are arguing
about is exactly *whether* GPL'd firmware without source *is* actually
distributable. Your resolution doesn't answer this question. One may
claim that this clause actually *forbids* GPL'd firmware without source
because we are *not* legally allowed to distribute it.
