Of course it's a program uploaded to the main cpu to work as expected. Do you think that this definition fits your description as being on a peripheral processor and part of a device driver?? Are you now saying that anything uploaded to the main cpu should be excluded from the DFSG?

"Debian will remain 100% Free Software" is the classification I like. I am of the opinion that there *is no* principled classification beyond this one which is anything other than "we don't really want 100% Free Software".
