It's a shame that there's barely even a conversation about fixing the problem of the ever growing pile of proprietary firmware blobs; more and more often people seem to just accept the situation. There isn't AFAIK an organisation or project dedicated to producing free firmware to replace the blobs. The most you see is the occasional project for making firmware for a single chip. Debian's page lists these: https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware/Open https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware/Open It's a depressingly short list. I guess the problem is in part that there's no money to fund anyone for doing such (very hard) work, and no incentive for companies to pay for it.
