Sure, either of those is fine. Or if you prefer you could help in the FV of 
linux-ubuntu-modules,[1] so we can recover sound earlier.

Unfortunately, no. You have to look for blobs, which are long undocumented

without source code (object code), so non-free by definition. The deblob-check 
script may help in that[2].

I don't think so. AFAIK, releases of gNS depend on releases of LTS versions of 
ubuntu.
