http://www.fsf.org/news/freebios.html And especially : -- The FSF uses laptops donated by IBM over the past few years. This was one among several ways IBM cooperated with the GNU Project. But the cooperation is incomplete: when I asked for the specifications necessary to make LinuxBIOS run on these laptops, IBM refusedbciting, as the reason, the enforcement of "trusted computing" http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/can-you-trust.html Treacherous computing is, itself, an attack on our freedom; it is also, it seems, a motivation to obstruct our freedom in other ways. -- You can also help our campaign by writing to manufacturers such as Intel, saying they ought to cooperate with a fully free BIOS. Calm but strong disapproval, coupled with stating an intention to take action accordingly, is more effective than venting rage. Please send a copy of your message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so we can monitor the support for this campaign. The more mail they get, the more effect, so please do add your voice to ours. -- For me BIOS, is mostly software embedded so i have to live with that 'closed source bios' (at least on peecee's ) i think i don't have to accept closed binary blobs at higher level ... Now, please, can we together stop feeding that awful troll ?
