Debian considers how to handle non-free firmware |
 |
The Debian project takes a strong stance in favour of open source and free software, choosing to avoid the use of software and firmware that is proprietary or not freely licensed. While beneficial in same ways, Debian's approach means there is no non-free firmware on the official Debian media. Since non-free firmware is often used to make wireless networking cards function, this effectively blocks many users from being able to get on-line. The project currently maintains unofficial install media with the non-free firmware included and many people use this alternative media, but it is not always obvious this alternative approach exists. The project is currently considering how best to approach the use and distribution of non-free firmware by way of a general resolution. |
