> have you even glanced at what touching hardware manufacturing involves? The amount of NDAs alone ends this.

Do you think all that came out of the vacuum? It was set into motion over several decades of gradual erosion of user rights. Ultimately, everything is subject to the laws of supply and demand. If you can't see that far, you're thinking a level too shallow to see the problem and possible solutions.

People don't simply scorn at FSF or anyone else like this just because they don't like it. I guess that explains the sophistication of your arguments.
