I think it is misleading as currently written either way.

In return, however, one gains more freedom over the hardware that will work with gNS. Some may find this an unsatisfactory trade. They are free to use other hardware to the extent that the manufacturer(s) will permit. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
