Almost. So, why is it that a worthless piece of human shit like > "NSA's eugene myers" is allowed to 'contribute' to FOSS ?
Of course it's humorous. The nature of freedom in relation to different things is often self evident, and of course the CoreBoot guys are free to take or not take the code from the NSA. Notwithstanding all the shirtfruckery, access to the code in this case may result Intel's hardware backdoors being less open to the world/ more restricted to just Intel and the NSA/CIA etc. And may also result in more locked down hardware black boxes to run NetFlix "safely" minimising the right of the masses to record and replay.
