If non-free software were found within gNewSense, would forgetting  
about it be an acceptable option? Of course not: http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Main/CommunityGuidelines 
. The BIOS is software. Recommending the use of non-free software  
seems contrary to the stated goals of this project.

Since gNewSense is recommended by the FSF, shouldn't we be taking  
their lead on the BIOS issue? It seems that we should only recommend  
machines that can run with 100% free software.
