Indeed, and I actually had an old Tandy 1000HX that had DOS (2.something, I think)
burned into ROM, so it needed no disks (floppy or hard) to boot... Was that
somehow acceptable from FSF's POV, or actually superior to being able to load
any OS one wanted via disk (merely because the disk happened to ship with DOS
on it by default)? If so, I think they've gone completely off the deep end...
But, if not, they're being hypocritical regarding this "binary blob" situation...
