Yes, I'm referring to software required to make the hardware work.
Distinguishing between firmware, drivers, operating systems, libraries,
programs, and scripts doesn't seem important to me when considering the
question of if a program is libre licensed or not.

No concern at all! Just a statement of fact - as I understand it. Which is
that Sugar is LGPL, and OLPC made Sugar LGPL to allow proprietary Sugar
Activities. Is this incorrect?
