Hi, I'm new to this list, so I hope you don't mind me "putting my oar in" on 
my first post :-)

Your continued thoughts about the modules that require non-free blobs are 
exactly the point that I was going to make.  However, I think that I would 
replace the word "induce" with the word "require", so your sentence would 
read:

"Gnash, Samba and Wine don't require someone to use non-Free Software, they 
merely enable it.  Conversely, the drivers do require people to use the 
non-Free firmware."

Thanks for taking the initiative with linux-libre.
