firmware into a device to make it work in the first place.

So, per this logic, MS-Windows OEM is not software.  Right?!?

Whether a certain chunk of bits is or isn't software isn't the point. Would that windows OEM have to become GPL'd if you updated the installed image with clonezilla or similar copying tool?
