The licenses for Sony's psp2psarc and at9tool are polar opposite from Firestar's own GPL, so you should not expect Firestar to be a completely "libre" application (but then again, you're a WipEout player, the free software movement clearly isn't a huge concern). The open source nature of Firestar is provided with the hopes of allowing others to critique, audit, and improve upon the software, not necessarily for idealogical reasons. Ideally, in the future, all of this functionality can be built into Firestar natively without any fancy tricks.
