I thin Jean Louis analysis is absolutely relevant and punctual.


tl;dr - an 100% free distro should not include, recommend nor
          facilitate the installation of non-free software. a bios
          firmware is also distributed software


OTOH, the reaction of calling his analysis FUD is really odd.
