Yet another reason to not use software from the skum of the earth

Did you "modify" any GPL software on the system?
We did at beagleboard.org, all those *.deb's we changed also have
source available on debian.beagleboard.org (apt-get source xyz) will
retrieve files.

Yes it includes the "non-free" repo enabled by default. Which
therefore means "non-free" firmware is installed. I'm sorry, but I'd
