Indeed. We have been ignoring this kind of thing, but I would not say we should drop the 'remove non-free' thing just because we are not giving enough attention to free hardware. We should, instead, start trying to have the project get into contact with them and to stabilish some relationship with such projects to have free hardware used as test buildd's, for example, to help them debug stuff (I'm totally clueless on hardware stuff -- I have no idea if I'm talking shit here, but I guess you can get the point). That's a good thing for our next DPL to do: try to bring Debian closer to free hardware initiatives. > > Actually said source code would probably be quite useful from an > > educational POV. > > Yeah, among other.
