This discussion all seems to boil down to the semantics of what's "firmware", what's "software" and what's "hardware". Considering how blurred the line really is between the three, the feud seems pedantic at best.

FSF should stick to software only, learn to see shades of grey and label hardware accordingly or reject anything that isn't open until silicon (silicon excluded). Current choice is half-baked.
