Shan't speak for the other *BSD's, but at least in OpenBSD everything that  
runs on an actual CPU as opposed to some microcontroller is perfectly free.

And suppose if anyone really think there's a practical difference between  
loading firmware and having it burned on a ROM chip, which most people 'round  
here at least do, recompiling the kernel without them shouldn't be too big a  
deal.

As for the licenses, hey, least I can actually read and understand the BSD  
licenses without a friggin' law degree. And permissive always have had a  
somewhat nicer ring in my ears than restrictive.
