Debian 5 release approaches... binary blobs included

,----[ Quote ]
| The developers behind the Debian Linux distribution are preparing for the

| forward with the release follows a contentious vote over whether to permit 
| the inclusion of binary blobs in the new version of the distribution. 
| Consensus coalesced around a controversial proposal to "assume blobs comply 
| with the GPL unless proven otherwise."
