Hello, the freedom no. 0 is to use software for any purpose.
If you want to use software on a special computer model, you might need non-free firmware. That is bad enough.
It isn't a restriction by licence but an actual one. So distributors as users have the choice:Either to use (or distribute) non-free firmware and use and run Free Software on that computer model.
Or to run Free Software only on a few computers, which don't need non-free firmware. That is an important lack of choice and reduces the freedom of the user.
So the question is: Which policy increases the common freedom?IMO both policies are honourable, because both are focused on the freedom of the software user.
