Copyleft Hardware and the Ben Nanonote
There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all
free or you are not free.
Walter Cronkite
Vertically Free Stackwe get to hardware, and identify the problem of HARDWARE and your FREEDOMopen source hardware says its open from top to bottom, but lets look at the ones that exist
REALLY its closed hardware that runs free software: freerunner, openpandora, chumby, G1, HTC Nexus-1, Motorola Droid
Copyleft Hardware is NOT open hardware! We have to be a bit more extreme to make our point
How can you fix a bug in your chips?
AND, we are NOT, free hardware (RMS)http://features.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=1999-06-22-005-05-NW-LF
Arduino is, but not all parts open...are they trying to get more open, we hope so :)
Beagleboard
Free Hardware is NOT Enough.
What about BUGS in your CHIPS?
We have 2 BIG Problems.
No movement.No hardware platform.
