Why not? We found all of them and made sure they have proper licenses on them.

Yeah doing your best really counts. Kind of a Dr. that did his best but killed the patient. HE TRIED!! > > Gilles' message seems to say that OpenBSD policy is to allow > binary-only firmware. Is that correct? You have been told the answer several times and again you fail to do your own research. Also in OpenBSD we have a "shut up and hack" attitude. We tell our users to do their own research and that we don't hold hands. Time has come to tell you to do the same. The OpenBSD website goes into great detail explaining all this and there are many email archives that debate this topic. Go find them. Do some work on your own instead of relying on helpful volunteers that unfortunately have misinterpreted just about everything they have researched for you. You obviously are infallible.
