Well, technically, yes. Except that A) The title of the chosen option in the vote was "Assume blobs comply with GPL unless proven otherwise" (see http://www.debian.org/vote/2008/vote_003#outcome). B) There were similar decisions made for the two previous releases (Sarge and Etch); the vote on Lenny came only after the release managers applied the same principle to Lenny with no vote, and people cried foul (searching the list for the exact references is beyond me ATM). I think it fair to assume that, when confronted with the same dilemma for Squeeze, the Debian project will take a similar decision.
