[Arm-netbook] Block Diagram - ZEOMA - Handheld Games Console

[ryan]

Actually, I personally take a hybdrid approach to my libre software. I 
focus on the important components being libre, but if some high-level 
software isn't, I can live with that as long as I'm not dependent on it.


So with that in mind, I know I would play some emulators on there. Also, 
if we just focus the EOMA68 projects on fully-libre usecases, we will 
miss out on many mainstream users who are necessary if we want the 
standard (or whatever revision its reached by then) to be at all 
relevant in 20 years. I like the idea of 100% libre hardware and a 100% 
libre software stack, but with easy options for the user to choose to 
add non-free components if they wish (like the Debian non-free 
repository being only a couple of clicks away)

Thanks
