what do you mean by pressure?
Peaceful, non-violent pressure, of course ;-)
The "damn, today there were another 14 customers calling our help-desk and asking for LinuxBIOS support, maybe we should give out specs, after all"-type of pressure.
Usually if you come with a big enough number, they will open the specs.
From what I experienced, 100 boards might not be enough for some of
them, 1000 boards probably is.
Maybe this is an area where the FSF could help to gain momentum? I got some pretty good contacts to some of the companies meanwhile, but most of our customers think 1000 boards is a whole lot.
