If so, it is a problem to fix. https://h-node.org states these objectives:
The h-node project aims at the construction of a hardware database in order to identify what devices work with a fully free operating system. The h-node.org website is structured like a wiki in which all the users can modify or insert new contents. The h-node project is developed in collaboration and as an activity of the FSF.

A little below:
In order to add a device to the h-node database, you must verify that it works using only free software. For this purpose, you must be running either:

A GNU/Linux distribution that is on the FSF's list of endorsed distributions
Debian GNU/Linux, with only the main archive area enabled. The "contrib" and "non-free" areas must not be enabled when testing hardware. Double-check this by running apt-cache policy. The only package archive area mentioned in the output should be main.

h-node lists only hardware that works with free drivers and without non-free firmware. Other GNU/Linux distributions (or Debian with contrib, non-free, or some 3rd-party archives enabled) include non-free firmware files, so they cannot be used for testing.
