LinuxLibre:Devices that require non-free firmware
From LibrePlanet
This section includes links to non-free firmware with the purpose of fostering the development of a fully free firmware for this device. Please, do not use these non-free firmwares if you are not developing a free replacement for it.
"The Free Software Foundation follows the rule that we cannot install any proprietary program on our computers except temporarily for the specific purpose of writing a free replacement for that very program. Aside from that, we feel there is no possible excuse for installing a proprietary program." [1]
This page lists wiki articles that gather info about the devices that require non-free firmware in the kernel Linux. It is intended as a way to foster the development of free firmware for these devices (as well as an attempt to define some minimal prioritization criteria for such efforts) by making information more easily accessible and better organized. --Felipe Sanches
The list can also be used to review hardware and find out if they are likely to require nonfree firwmare.
This list of devices is based on the linux-libre-4.12.7-gnu.log file. It is similar to the old list that used to be published at http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/firmware but it aims at more detailed technical info.
Use this template when starting a wiki-page about a new device. Also, try to save backup copies of the relevant info found on external websites using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, since simply using plain URLs can lead to future loss of information.
