The kernel that comes default in Debian Squeeze is completely free.
The kernel produced by linux-libre, and the kernel produced by debian differ. This doesn't inherantly mean debians kernel is meant to be non-free, but it does mean there is some confusion between the projects which will have to be worked out. If we can use debians kernel unaltered thats fantastic, but i'm still trying to find someone who knows kernels (not me) to compare them and tell us if thats ok. thanks, kk
"Another first is the completely free Linux kernel, which no longer contains problematic firmware files. These were split out into separate packages and moved out of the Debian main archive into the non-free area of our archive, which is not enabled by default. In this way Debian users have the possibility of running a completely free operating system, but may still choose to use non-free firmware files if necessary."
