Does Tails OS have binary blobs in its kernel?

Question

Or is the kernel 100% open source?

@AvinashRedy I know it's Debian based and that the vast majority of its source code is released. But even Debian has binary blobs, I think? Or does Debian use the "Linux Libre" kernel? — Fiksdal

@AvinashRedy If you can find a source for that, then you could post it as an answer. — Fiksdal

Here is the link for your binary blobs.

Quote from the link:

Binary firmware blobs from the Debian non-free archive are installed when no good Free Software alternative exists.
