&gt;<i> If some hardware does not work without having a proprietary firmware or driver, then that particular hardware does not work. Period. The user must install a proprietary driver them selves afterwards if they want to use it, and the distro does not help them in any way to achieve this.
</I>That is almost silly imho, one thing is &quot;i can't/don't want to ship any non free things&quot;
another is &quot;i don't want to help/tell you to make our distro working
with your hardware if you choose not to use only free sw&quot; 
If you really mean that you should also remove non-free repositories etc...
I don't think being a don Quijote is that good... always imho of course.
