The Free Software Foundation (FSF) says that:

firmware blobs.

The FSF should have access to people who could do a bit of fact checking, but it's possible they don't actually care all that much about accuracy. The three projects all have their own approach to this problem, and with minimal search effort you or the FSF would have been able to find complete descriptions of how OpenBSD at least handles the situation.

Go search the archives, nothing much has changed since the first time this issue came up on misc. And I remember this actually being a topic of one of Theo's presentations and possibly others. Seek and you shall find.
