RMS mentions a change "to obfuscate the names of the firmware files" instead of failing. Last time I checked, the situation hasn't changed, Linux-Libre still rejects firmware files. And that is the very reason I chose to use the de-blobbing mechanism of Debian instead of Linux-Libre. > But if your decision is to continue to push back on this and leave the > request_firmware calls in place and unmodified, then I think my review > of ConnochaetOS is over. That is, of course, for you to decide. However, I didn't found any official statement (meaning a statement at fsf.org or gnu.org), that writing names of proprietary firmware files in a log file are rendering a distro not recommendable or a software as not usable in a fully free distro. Some random messages on this list are not official statements. Greetings, Henry
