The "one replaceable component" you refer to is the actual computer. To avoid confusion with peripheral boards in the different housings for this computer board, I've updated my avatar which now says: EOMA68-A20 computer is NOT "Libre hardware". "Libre Tea" is the name for the EOMA68-A20

That's not how it works. EOMA68 is a standard. Your complaint is about a specific piece of hardware (the Libre Tea card) based on that standard. when people see "EOMA68 boards are not libre hardware", that makes it seem like this also applies to the laptop and desktop housings, and to every

I disagree. "Libre Tea" is not a hardware project, it's an EOMA68 board preinstalled with Parabola, endorsable by FSF as software-freedom-respecting. The hardware project is EOMA68. Also, people correct others by saying that EOMA68 is a "standard", not hardware. But the only
