Given the latest accepted draft this seems to leave us without a clear
statement regarding the tg3 and typhoon firmware blobs, which are relevant
to the installer and do not have a license permitting modification.
Though if the Project passes that GR rather than attempting to twiddle the
language further to explicitly cover those two blobs, I'm probably willing
to go out on a limb as RM and allow their inclusion in main for etch along
with the others.
