Just to clarify:
Of course, the Debian folks might well decide that non-free firmware violates the DFSG, but that's a separate matter.
Note that the DFSG argument is strictly based on us shipping free software: binary code loaded into a DSP just doesn't qualify. We don't
claim that the the fact that it's mixed up with a kernel driver inherently violates the GPL. It's purely a Debian thing.
