But what about the hardware?  Not all of it will be immediately released under 
permissive licenses.  As Timothy has pointed out, RMS seems to be somewhat more 
pragmatic about hardware and so long as it is fully documented I don't think 
there will be too much problem.  But we do need to remember the driver software 
is only a portion of the equation.
