OK, I'm done here. Have a nice project everyone. When people start making statements like this and accusing the project of being corrupt, it's time to stop reading a list.
Sorry Ron, I didn't write it to offend you. I just read their product page before writing that stupid statement above. And that page seemed to smash again empty promises into my face. That's no excuse for what I wrote, just trying to explain how it happened.
Please understand that talking about Purism may still reawake bad fee- lings. At the beginning they sold so much and shipped nothing. And people believe that they have drawn customers away from vendors who actually supported free firmware. By that, making people who wanted to pay for free firmware pay for proprietary firmware instead.
At least this is how I remember the story. Obviously we have a very dif- ferent view on it. And also how far x86 can be freed from blobs. I still hope Purism will, in the end, accomplish more than you say is possible.
