IIUC the issue is not whether to download this or not, but whether it
gets (installed and) used. So it's mostly a matter of marking the
un-free parts and then making them only available upon a very
explicit request.
The degree to which the request should be explicit is of course
something that depends on how much you care about this kind of freedom.
I personally would really like it if OpenWRT labelled each non-free part
and made it clear which part is free and which isn't (e.g. by placing
all the non-free packages (i.e. packages which include some non-free
element) in a separate (sub)menu).
