Sure. :)

Recently, Sven was talking about it. Sven, can you tell us more of
your status on this issue?

The question that popped in my mind is what is exactly considered
non-free in mol-drivers-maxosx? I know for sure mol-drivers-macos is
in contrib, because to work, it relies on an external ROM image for
the OldWorld PowerMac that you have to own.

I think so, because we are ripping upstream non-free parts.

I have, I can do so...

Maybe rather FTP?

To my mind, it seems possible to do all this stuff before uploading
MOL...
