@AvinashRedy I know it's Debian based and that the vast majority of its source code is released. But even Debian has binary blobs, I think? Or does Debian use the "Linux Libre" kernel? – Fiksdal May 06 '16 at 04:48

@AvinashRedy If you can find a source for that, then you could post it as an answer. – Fiksdal May 06 '16 at 04:58

Here is the link for your binary blobs.
Quote from the link:
Binary firmware blobs from the Debian non-free archive are installed when no good Free Software alternative exists.
