+1. I think firmware is something conceptually different than non-free software in general, and it would be good to give users a simple way to choose to enable non-free firmware without enabling other non-free software. For the discoverability, I would be quite comfortable with putting both the free and the non-free download links prominantly on the page with the non-free link going to or closely tied with a page that discusses the issues, explains why we have this installer even though we don't really want to, and maybe links to the FSF Respects Your Freedom pages to suggest a hardware alternative. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
