Good! Then:
Firmware is not software. I wouldn't be surprised to find differences when
comparing licenses drawn for software to licenses drawn for firmaware.
Software freedom guidelines have nothing to do with firmware freedom. Applying
one to the other shows profound lack of thought and is going to waste a lot of
time.
My point being: if we can exclude documentation from the realm of what we
consider as free, then we could do it with firmware as well…
