Hi.
There are closed binary blobs in OI, including ones which were never open
sourced (coming from on-closed-bins, like mpt driver or pax tool; coming from
other sources - nvidia binary driver or libmtsk.so and other Sun Studio
libraries and binaries) and some, for which code was once opened,
The nVidia driver is not open source, though you don't have to use it.
However, it is so much better than the open source driver it's crazy not to use
it.
I did a 2019.04 install 2 weeks ago for a friend because I could not get the
nVidia driver to install on Debian 9.3. It was the default dri

Everything is opensource technically (whether it is opensource in the legal
sense is a different kettle of fish).

Dear OpenIndiana Mailing List,
Would someone be able to confirm whether OpenIndiana is free of
closed-source binary blobs? Or if not by default, if its possible to set it
up some how such that the resulting install is?
Thank you,
