Galaxy S Proprietary

This is the list of the proprietary libraries, binaries and firmwares shipped with cyanogenmod or the factory images on the Galaxy S and the status of their replacement.

Note on shipping non-free programs

Note that we don't ship any proprietary binary, library or firmware.
First because our goal is to reach a 100% free Android distribution and also because sometimes, these are not even distributables.
