The big question is why someone doesn't want to have blobs in the system:
- Freedom: The FSF/Stallman say that ROMs are hardware and thus the
"software" aspect of free software does not apply, i.e. closed source ROMs are OK.
I *might* feel closed-source ROMs weren't too bad if they were genuinely ROMs and were well-studied/fuzzed and found benign.
Are there many genuine ROMs (not, for instance, EEPROMS) in Chromebooks? If so, how well-studied & by whom?
Thanks,
