 ohhh jaezus not again.  *sigh* well at least they're trying with this:
 https://puri.sm/posts/petition-for-intel-to-release-an-me-less-cpu-design/

 what's pissing people off is that they're claiming *right now* to be
"libre" when in fact they are absolutely flat-out *NOT*.  you can't
use the word "libre" - via the name "librem" and still require a
proprietary piece of firmware that runs on an NSA spyware-friendly
backdoor co-processor.

 if they wanted people to trust them they should have put their foot
down and said NO, we will NOT EVEN SELL a product that has a backdoor
privacy-violating co-processor and attempt to label it "libre".
