How exactly firmware is not software? Both are strings of bits encoding commands for a processor living in silicon you own. Your reasoning doesn't make a shred of sense to me. Either we disallow all kinds of non-free software, or allow all kinds; letting one in but another out just because their code executes on different processors would be a strange distinction. -- // If you believe in so-called "intellectual property", please immediately // cease using counterfeit alphabets.
