@dolus nouveau are the open-source NVidia drivers, right; what does "blob-free" mean?

@tjvr @dolus Specifically "blob-free" means without closed-source binary "blobs" of code. In this case, it's pretty much synonymous with the drivers being open-source, as a closed-source driver would be a binary blob.
