If somebody is irritated here: Yes, FreeBSD uses Blobs, but a lot of people don't think this is a good idea (to promote that use). This campaign is about telling people why Blobs are bad and why we need support for freely available documentation. The upcoming flyer will explain all the details. This poster is just the beginning please don't forget. Nobody told you Blobs are forbidden or FreeBSD should abandon all Blobs etc. You are the user, you are the one responsible for your machines. If you want to use Blobs please use them. That's the Free in FreeBSD contrary to the policy of OpenBSD and nobody wants to change that ;-) Best regards, Daniel
