Baloney. Your not finding it does not mean it's not available. It means you didn't look hard enough.
I call baloney on this one. I do not have to "look hard enough". Section 3 defines how hard I should look. My chromebook came with no corresponding source code, and no written offer for the source code. So no, I don't have to jailbreak the device to get to a root shell, read the flash, dd the BIOS_STUB out of there, and run cbfstool to extract the .config in order to find out I'm running coreboot commit ff1f4757e4bd35a6b72018d0982b5e2bec89a1bb

You didn't check the hash, did you?
Exynos still has that annoyng BL0 blob, does it not? It's either a trade-off or a trade-off. Damn!
Which is why this whole whining around is useless unless it results in action.
There's already been more action in the last few days than in the last few years. We've rounded up a first batch of candidates, got interested people pledging coding effort, and even a pledge for financial support. We got some of the libreboot guys excited about this. As long as we don't slack and lose momentum, we're on the right track.
