Re: Will the XO-4 need nonfree firmware

PS: If you want to spend time on the freedom of OLPC products, first
get the FSF staff to enforce the GPL on OLPCs.  Major OLPC customer
countries are still providing hundreds of thousands of laptops full of
GPLv3 binary software to kids who can't examine, replace, or get the
matching source for that software.  These laptops are locked down with
Secure Boot, with a remote disable switch (time-limited leases), and
also shipped with root access disabled, so the owner can't even do
simple software edits or upgrades.

Please tell us specific evidence; then we will do what we can.
It may be hard to enforce copyrights in those countries,
but in order to try, we need clear-cut evidence.

Not yet but it will.  We were waiting for the audio driver to stabilize.
