I thought the baseband was not included in the builds you typically

is that wrong?
I think Gabriele's point was more on a philosophical scale: having an
open graphic driver is cool, but if we could get an open radio it would
be awesome.
Yes, with open graphics/media driver we could make full images and
distribute them freely.
What I was pointing out is that even a device with a blob-free kernel
would still be running a significant amount of closed firmware in the
radio modem (which is a huge security issue among other things).
