I was wondering if I would suggest a system on h-node to recognize truly free
software frendly vendors from the rest. Let's assume we have a list of those
vendors. Then it would be relatively easy to add some kind of mark or message
to every device's page from that vendor. It would also be easy to use this
recommendation as a filter when searching devices from the h-node's database.
This way people could not only find devices that work more easily but their
support (purchases) would get directed towards free software frendly vendors
more easily too.
The problem is that h-node does not have such a list. Who does? FSF? It would
be good if some third party like FSF would maintain such a list which h-node
could then rely on (like it does now with FSF's list of fully free GNU/Linux
distros). It shouldn't be h-node's responcibility to maintain that list. Do
you know if FSF or anyone else have such a list?
@ SirGrant: Thanks!
