however, here we speak about distributing binary WITHOUT non-free library. A binary which does not depend on a non-free library. If there is a free option compiled in, such binary may be used without non-free driver and thus user has CHOICE to use free or non-free driver. There is nothing wrong in distributing binary compiled for a non-free CPU (a core not released under GPL) so with all the respect to GPL, I do not understand why is it wrong to distribute binary having (beside others) just SUPPORT for a non-free hw? Another matter is a binary dependent on a non-free library, but this is not the case.
