I respect that you're a passionate free software person, but the existence in the initial Talos II design of an almost decade-old BMC chip for which (it has been said) there is not public documentation does not establish that 'it has a backdoor', and you are doing no favour to public discourse by so claiming. As I pointed out, FSF expects to give an extremely rare Respects Your Freedom certification to the Talos II system (subject to checking the final design, but they and Raptor Engineering have reportedly been coordinating closely), so, unless you're prepared to argue that Alessandro Selli understands free software but FSF does not, you really ought to reconsider your rhetoric. Thank you. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
