"So its just proprietary then?"
No. I'm about as likely to distribute proprietary software as RMS is to buy an iPhone. Why do you just assume there must be proprietary software? Where do you get your information from? Do you just make it up? You have to be, because if you were to actually examine the patch (which clearly you have not done) you would see that no proprietary software is involved and you're just making up allegations that can't actually be backed up by the facts: The only change that is made is turning some stuff into a conditional so that when the proprietary firmware is not present (which will always be the case in a free distro) the radeon module doesn't just fall over and die like it used to but it instead continues on working without it. It essentially breaks the dependency it had on the firmware so it can work without it. Working without it. Get it? But then again, you'd know this if you'd actually looked at the patch before slinging allegations around.
