As I've said already, I'm perfectly aware of all this. That is why I've
wrote to the FSF about the attempt to reverse engineer the GPU.

That is (was?) proprietary software. It is not a news that it has
restrictions. That is absolutely normal for proprietary software. The
real problem is the boot process and the OS running on the GPU. The GPU
has access to the memory of the CPU. The hardware decoding is a feature
that is not critical. Now with the code available I think all this is
fixable.
