Unfortunately, there have been several attempts to state that Linux is _not_ a free and open source kernel and that it contains proprietary binary blobs.
I'm asking for help to remove those fake information, mainly sponsored and backed by the FSF and by the Linux libre project (or something like that).
Can someone please provide reliable sources that I can use when reverting the above-mentioned false information? Unfortunately, I cannot simply revert them by just saying that the Linux Community won't ever accept non GPLv2 complaint code.
There is a strict rule that says "No original research": mostly everything must be supported by links to third party reliable documentation (web, books, and so on).
Again, can someone please help?
I doubt anyone really cares about the purity of wikipedia articles here. The best I can link you to is this FAQ entry: https://www.kernel.org/faq.html#i-heard-that-linux-ships-with-non-free-blobs -K
