Binary blobs in the PinePhone

I asked on postmarketos irc if there is any non free software in
their software? They said no. Except for the wifi card firmware, which
is non free software. You can deselect the wifi card firmware when
you compile postmarketos. Then all devices, not the wifi card, will work on the
pinephone. Some graphic features might not work at their best because
that would require pieces of non free software, which postmarketos has refrained
from.

The modem and gps require non free software. The non free software in question
is located on the usb modem chip.

If replicant decides to port replicant to the pinephone, they will utilize
usbguard.
https://usbguard.github.io/
In order to improve privacy and security. You can ask postmarketos, if
they also want to utilize usbguard.
