Hi
Its just weird to me.I am trying to grasp what is happening here.
On gnu.org and fsf.org we have hardware database of hardware which is non
free but marked as free and opensource,but at the same time,we have hardware
vendors list that sell GNU/linux endorsed distros ,which use non free
hardware.
In this situation,are they OK by using it?Please take look at the links
below:
GNu list
http://www.gnu.org/links/companies.en.html
Please take a note about this website inside gnu list
http://laclinux.com/gnu/Start
And take a look at their components on their laptops
Now FSF list
https://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/endorsement/respects-your-freedom
one of their supported hardwaare list
https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/snares-penguin-gnu-linux-notebook
Does recommend Linux Mind and other ubuntu Distros,also take a look at
hardware specs
Now we are coming to most interesting part
Single board computers:
https://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/single-board-computers
List of all SBC marked as non free hardware,but actually original devs and
creators claim that its free
Its not a full list,but i dug out some board that seems legit,active
manufacturing and FREE
http://wiki.minnowboard.org/MinnowBoard_Wiki_Home
Now if someone could take a look at the components and check if everything is
FREE,that would be great.
To me ,its seems really good,what do you think guys
I found out their original model among the others have coreboot,you can
locate it here
https://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
Now what i dont understand,they also dont seem to endorse GNU/linux official
distro list,they do recommend Ubuntu and Debian among the others.
Keep me posted and let me know what did you find out?
Regards
