@lanodan @Suiseiseki @frogzone The FSF's position is based on rules, which are the 4 freedoms. In this sense bootstrap-blobs can be studied/redistributed/modified (tho only if they were produced honestly, which can be hard/impossible to verify). That's the difference with your usual firmware blobs for which you don't even have anything that claims to be its source code. Remember: the first "F" in "FSF" is for "Freedom", not "Fecurity".
[ As for OpenWRT/LibreCMC/others: I run OpenWRT rather than LibreCMC because of the DSL firmware. And I run OpenWRT rather than Debian because that one machine-with-the-modem is a bit too limited to run Debian comfortably. I don't know of a machine-with-the-modem that can run a "normal" GNU/Linux distro. I suspect in the future that machine will be replaced by a 100% proprietary one 😞 ]
