I'll have to agree with Theo on this one. You're definetly spreading a lie
with that flyer.

Anyone who reads the flyer as it is will probably assume that the 4 BSDs
are against blobs. When it's not really a fact. Maybe the greatest part
of freebsd and netbsd community is against blobs, but that's not what
the flyer is saying, it's saying that the projects are against blobs.
That's what those symbols represent, isn't it? And that's obviously not
true, since freebsd and netbsd ship with blobs. It's not like they have
no choice, there are big projects that ship their products without
blobs.

You may write nice documents explaining what a blob is and which systems
have and which do not. The problem is that the flyer is not telling us
that, it's suggesting that those 4 BSDs are against blob, and therefore
they don't have blobs. It may even trick people into installing freebsd
or netbsd thinking they're installing blob-free software and therefore
contributing to make the world free of blob.
