I already tried to remove the non-free files, a couple of months ago. [1] The problem is that the touch keys won't work at all without those drivers, making the phone nearly unusable. So I think there's room for asking legal advice. Also: Kurtis posted some related links [2] that could probably be useful. I didn't actually understand what it's all about, but I think you should have a look at it.
