[Arm-netbook] firefly 3399 all source software disclosed?

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

ron: what you're about to attempt is called "coercion".  it's
unethical.  the principles behind the libre concept are that ethics
come first: very few people in the libre world actually truly
understand that, because they think it's about the technology or about
the "four freedoms" as specifically defined and laid out.

people need to be free to make their own choices.  firefly (Acer) have
made their choice - as they are entirely at liberty to do - to release
the full source code of the SOFTWARE and NOT the hardware.

if you attempt to coerce them into doing something that they have not
themselves chosen to do, they will not react as you intend, i
guarantee it.

so please don't do it: it's unethical.
