Hasn't this been solved already for the firmware that has been included with the kernel? Those blobs should have redistribution rights for this very purpose.

I'm not arguing we should start packaging extracted firmware without consent from hardware vendors but when we do have that it should be a no-brainer to include them within distributions.
