@dcc I don't hesitate to write about the truth, even if people are going to claim that the truth is a lie.

The "Open"BSD installer runs "fw_update" by default and if that detects that the hardware could potentially use some proprietary software, "fw_update" installs it.

The whole concept of using "firmware" to refer to software, is intended to confuse people and prevent them from realizing that what they are installing is software and that software is proprietary.
