Sure, choice is good. My point is, when we changed the ACCEPT_LICENSE default to @FREE in 2019, there was a discussion if we could remove LICENSE="linux-firmware" from kernel packages. The conclusion was that we could do so starting with version 4.14, because in that version firmware was gone from the Linux kernel tree. Now, either our conclusion back then was right, then >=*-sources-4.14 are under a free software license, and I don't understand what would be the purpose of deblobbing. Could somebody more knowledgeable please explain it to me? Or our conclusion was wrong, which means that there are still non-free files in the kernel tree. Again, could someone explain and show me examples of such non-free files? Ulrich
