+I agree with that. After all nobody (apart from R. Stallmann) questions the
+fact that the BIOS of their PC is non-free or all the other firmware or
+microcode on various chips on the motherboard and on expansion cards and
+peripherals.
+
+Firmware belongs into 'core', Nvidia/ATI drivers and the Flash plugin
+belong into 'non-free'.
