Yes, since Bookworm, there is also
non-free-firmwarewhich before was located innon-free. I've skipped that for simplicity, as both follow the same rules andnon-free-firmwarewas introduced basically for convenience.Do you know if either of the
non-freerepos contain binary files without having the source available?They do
OK, TY. I've thought, there were just downloader packages, containing scripts to download the firmware binary from the device manufacturer and install it on the system, like e.g. the one for the Broadcom wireless driver.
That would be contrib - free software that downloads or relies on non-free software. non-free and non-free-firmware just contain straight up non-free (but redistributable) binaries.
