This information is easily available to anyone interested via online
manual pages for affected drivers.  If user is not knowledgable enough
to verify whether his hardware can be used without proprietary firmware,
you are doing misservice.

P.S.: how are you going to cope with hardware that already contains
firmware and does not require loading it at initialization time?  Or is
this kind of firmware OK according to your definition of free?
