Re: [Trisquel-users] an Open Source Hardware Certification

[adel . afzal]

RYF already does this right?  It may be good to have another certification  
program, but it depends on the criteria.  One of OSHWA's primary goal is to  
"Move towards common expectations of what qualifies as open source hardware,  
including how non-open elements of putatively open source hardware is  
handled."

So, how will they deal with non-open components?  What does "open" mean?   
Only time will tell whether the OSHWA advocate for liberty.  It's possible  
that OSHWA will marginalize liberty issues (and RYF) with the media's  
assistance, like the OSI did to liberty issues (and the FSF) in the 1990s.
