In all seriousness, why do other distros ship the blobs when they violate Linux's own license (as Torvalds has said himself)?
GNU/Linux distros have a long, sordid history with non-free software, but
from what I've seen it's largely looking up. I first started flirting with
GNU/Linux in late 1990's, when major distros not only shipped with the
then-non-free mpg123 (with the additional problem of mp3's being patented in
the US) and Qt, but with Netscape Navigator!
