It's a common misunderstanding to think that the Linux-libre projeto forbids loading non-free modules/drivers by user's request after the kernel was installed. In fact, it's a *bug* that is very hard to fix due to the way that the Linux kernel itself is made, as Alexandre Oliva, member of Linux-libre project, states at [[http://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/blogs/lxo/2013-11-08-linux-libre-interview-b= y-bruce-byfield.en.html]] (when answering the question "Is there anything that the project wants to do that it can't do now? In general, what are the future plans for the project?").
