There are links to puri.sm notebooks, and that is most logical. The company with notebooks is sponsoring the pure OS. And so there shall be links, and there are devices on the notebook that need attention in terms of handling them by the tracker and such devices have their names and references to notebooks and it should be so. Company producing notebooks is making the PureOS. It is very simple. The company shall be credited and referenced whenever necessary. Finally, PureOS appears to be commercially sponsored, which is good thing for a free software distribution. It appears to me that people working on that distribution are paid, and they may dedicate their time and efforts in making distribution free. Those people depend of sales, and notebook is apparently "free hardware" and there shall be sales of free hardware. I would not agree on placing links only if the links are pointed to non-free hardware, however, the notebooks and their intentions are to make and sell fully free hardware and they are changing the game in the world, and in that sense everybody who likes free hardware including PureOS shall point back to makers of free hardware.
