For me, the distinction is simple. Binary blobs in software are incompatible with the GPL, and can't be included in the Linux kernel. Binary blobs in firmware, meanwhile, can exist entirely on the hardware. There isn't any licensing issue because there is nothing to license. (And, sure. That's an incomplete solution if truly libre hardware is the goal. But we humans accept and deal with incompetent solutions all the time in every aspect of life, and I'm not willing to die on this particular hill.) |
