Yes, but some of alsa-tools at least aren't
"non-free" at all,
like env24control.
Wasn't the division between alsa-tools and alsa-firmware done
explicitly to allow distribution of alsa-tools for distros which
prefer not to distribute alsa-firmware?
basically it was thought to decrease the size of the package.
firmware data are rarely changed while alsa-tools programs are often
updated.
