>Without Freedom 1 we can even assertain whether this patch is even an actual security fix.
We can test so-called "security fix". If the exploit doesn't work after installation of it, then it is really "security fix". Of course, it can contain new backdoors and new security vulnerability. But then it is definitely a security fix.
>Even though it wasn't explicitally stated in this thread, it's ridiculous to suggest that this project should distribute non-free software. Yes, my computer may be running this non-free firmware already, but it wasn't installed or distributed by anyone in the Trisquel project and furthermore I trust the maintainers to continue to reject non-free software.
But how about warning about the security vulnerability? Only warning, without distribution of the patch. Like this: "Warning, there is a security vulnerability in proprietary microcode of Intel's CPUs."
