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?I think this discussion is not to do be done here. if you want to discuss about deblob philosophy please open a thread about this on the FSF mailing list.Sorry for my perseverance, but it affects what we declare as LICENSE of kernel packages, so at least to some degree it _is_ our discussion. According to COPYING and Documentation/process/license-rules.rst the kernel is "provided under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 only". Does the FSFLA/Linux-libre project challenge that statement (and if yes, why don't they work with Linux upstream to rectify the situation)? I am still hoping that someone will explain it to me.
