Re: [Trisquel-users] AMD processors for freedom friendly computers?

Over 9000 might do it. Seriously though, AMD does not want to release the  
specs (or release the firmware themselves) because it will make workarounds  
on their DRM very easy. That was a statement of an AMD official on a forum,  
where people were talking about writing "open source" drivers for the Radeon  
cards.

AMD is all for having free software compatible drivers, as long as the  
firmware binary can remain secret and be shipped with the kernel.
