Markus I suspect what you are suggesting is not what Alex is looking for.

Alex is concerned about which licenses these drivers and firmwares are rele=
ased
under. He is using gNewSense so he clearly cares that they are free as in f=
ree beer *and* free
as in free speech. You say there are two pieces of firmware. Could you clar=
ify (1) which
files you are talking about, (2) who holds the copyrights and (3) whether t=
he driver =

and firmware source codes are available and under what licenses.

Binaries coded in ascii are still binaries.

-- =

Release early, release often.
