Sadly ATI GPUs are the ones that actually require binary blobs - not in the form of drivers, but firmware (it's along story and I hope someone here with a better understanding of it can explain).

Anything that's present in Trisquel's software centre is fully free, and if you find anything there that isn't then it's a mistake that should be reported.

"Also is 100% free software always open source? How can I know if software is 100% free and open source? I guess it must have GNU license?" No, any of what is called free https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html should do.

"So is it because of the blops removed from the kernel? I thought the blops were here only to offer install of proprietary drivers (like NVIDIA driver), in the non 100% free GNU/Linux distros. Guess I'm wrong though." That's not what blobs are (it doesn't "offer" anything), maybe this page has a better explanation: So is it because of the blops removed from the kernel? I thought the blops were here only to offer install of proprietary drivers (like NVIDIA driver), in the non 100% free GNU/Linux distros. Guess I'm wrong though.
