Yes, - the hope is to make a community firmware image of Mer that contains the closed bits, downloadable in similar way to tablets-dev.nokia.com. This image would be the fully free Mer image plus closed source differentation (binaries, Nokia applications, etc). Mer itself will be open, both for tablets and other devices.
