It depends on the distro, as fas as we know only the Free GNU/Linux distributions use a free one. If the kernel haven't been deblob"ed" by the distribution developer, then it isn't completely free, the kernel hosted on kernel.org contains blobs and non-free software inside. The best at "cleaning" the Linux kernel is Alexandre, with the help of previous contributors. :) In other words if there isn't an implementation to clean the kernel, then is not completely free. Unless you obtained at the Linux-libre projects site :P Cheers -- Luis A. Guzmán García
