I don't mean to belittle those who believe this, but it only matters
to some individuals.

There are greatly differing views even among "FOSS enthusiasts" as to
what is acceptably FOSS and what is not.

That's why distributions such as "Gnewsense" exist.

The important thing to remember here is that there are very few
components that don't have the source code available, and it is
completely within the community's power to solve these issues.
