isn't that we have to distribute the blob. The problem is how "free"
do we judge the driver to be.
 

We judge that by the DFSG. The DFSG doesn't include any language about 
dependencies on non-free software. Indeed, it does not require that the 
program be functional. So, we are talking about a lesser distinction 
than Free vs. Non-Free.
