This is depressing to think about nonfree firmware eating the world:
Uncompressed source code of Linux 5.16.7: 1.1GB
The "source" of nonfree firmware: Over 700MB and growing so it's a good percentage of the size of the ENTIRE KERNEL ITSELF.
Free firmware with actual source code? 24.5MB and not growing
