This is a really funny summary, to be fair to purism they are now a Benefit
Corp, and they had some influence with Intel, their requests for switching
off the ME by default actually resulted in internal buzz around a "ME-less
BIOS".
Then the "NSA off switch" was discovered and they were able to do FW BIOS
patches for their products, without Intel's help, permission or involvement.
Even as far back as 2011 I could have compromised, released some SBC
design, made some cash, established a business, and funded EOMA68 with it.
Or made some other compromise, done something a la fairphone or etc etc and
got up and running that way.
The risk was, getting sidetracked by running such a business, instead of
focussing on EOMA68.
Or, being criticised for compromising, undermining the whole purpose of the
exercise.
What can you do, eh?
L.
Frankly we need more people who will not compromise and will do what is
right for the world, the future and for the love of God, what is good
for freedom and justice alike!
My point being, I thank you for going full freedom, integrity is a lost
art in our world it seems like.
