     the 20MB monster lio_23xx_vsw contains free and nonfree bits. the source for the linux binary is supposed to be available upon request; it wasn't at first, which was what caught my attention.

     @lxo Which specific firmware contains the kernel, Linux exactly? Some nonfree firmware or free firmware?
     
     Linux in binary form without source sounds like something I really want to know about.
