I'm rapidly forming the opinion that firmware isn't software and that as such has no place in the software chain. It's a fine line of distinction, but as someone asked, are we going to stop supporting hardware that have firmware upgrades on their chipset because the firmware isn't 'open'? And if not, what's the difference between hardware where the firmware is stored on a chipset and hardware where the firmware is stored on the hard-disk?

+1 Exactly my opinion too.
