Re: The kernels of *BSD include nonfree firmware blobs?

Drivers run on the CPU, firmware runs on the peripheral device (e.g. the network card or hard drive). BSDs reject driver blobs because they run with the same privilege and in the same address space as the rest of the kernel. Because of this, they can meddle with or corrupt the kernel. Before

Re: The kernels of *BSD include nonfree firmware blobs?

parlance, the term “blob” means something else: a nonfree driver? OpenBSD and perhaps other BSD distributions (called “projects” by BSD developers) have the policy of not including those? That is the right policy, as regards drivers? But when the developers say these distributions “contain no blobs”, it causes a misunderstanding? Is true that they are not talking about firmware blobs? -- View this message in context: http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/The-kernels-of-BSD-include-nonfree- firmware-blobs-tp283900p283907.html Sent from the openbsd user - misc mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
