linux-firmware and microcode_ctl include binary firmware blobs under various redistribution licenses. These are required for hardware functionality (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPU initialization). See /usr/share/licenses/linux-firmware/ on a running system for individual firmware licenses.
- Steam: You must create a Steam account and accept the Steam Subscriber Agreement to use Steam.
- NVIDIA: The NVIDIA driver is included for hardware compatibility. No additional acceptance is required beyond using the system.
- Flatpak apps: Applications installed via Flatpak have their own licenses. Check each app's metadata on Flathub.
