I was in the process of repartitioning my hard-drive and installing
Trisquel, when I came across something rather odd with the repositories.
There is, by default, a 'restricted' repository available which contains
non-free drivers - the Broadcom STA wireless driver, and a SmartLink modem
driver. So can anyone share some insight into this? Was it something that
was just overlooked? Are they included on purpose? Are they only available
for the liveCD and not a regular installation? I'm mostly just curious here,
I know Trisquel is prided on being 100% libre and free, and to include
restricted drivers like this seems to be out of line for the goals of the
distro.

My sources.list from the liveCD:

I'd appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks!
