Only GPU mining needs non-free code, and most mining software is free (as in speech) - like cgminer - so yes, it's possible.

If you run testing, cgminer is at an apt-get install away.

I run Debian and have zero nonfree software on my machine. Ideally, I'd like to be able to buy one of those USB ASICs for $20 and simply plug it into my machine and run my free, open source mining software. Is this possible? If not, why not?
