The ipw2100 license doesn't allow free redistribution (the recipient must explicitly agree to the license); you can't just burn a CD including that firmware and give it to someone. I don't know whether you condider that "free as in beer", but IMHO sacrificing redistributability of FC for the firmware is just not worth it, all other factors aside. Mirek
