Re: [Trisquel-users] Building freedom friendly hardware

[chris]

In regards to talking about free software and hardware it is a challenge for  
various reasons. Everything is dependent on some non-free code. I usually try  
an phrase it as “free software compatible” or “free software  
friendly” although even that isn't great. The computers @ ThinkPenguin are  
all dependent on a non-free BIOS. All the major chipsets though work with  
free software. It might be better to phrase it like so “compatible with  
100% free software distributions”. That would be a bit less confusing as it  
still leaves open the possibility of dependency on non-free code in other  
places.
