No comment. I will not enter into this game...
I think that, as a customer, I could express my concern and my opinions about the fact (not opinion) that I can't install coreboot into my computer. And I can complain about that. Simply as that. I am not interested if the company has a glorious history of open source or not. I have no time and effort to know that. Simply, I have a problem to solve and I pressure the company which causes it.

Thanks for all the detailed answer. It's a pitty. AMD is a "devil company". What can I do?
A few simple things you can do:
- Don't refer to a partner who has contributed to coreboot for about a
decade as a "devil company." 2. Don't reference threads/e-mails that bluster over non-existent legal issues - That is a guaranteed way to end useful dialog. 3. Ask nicely, preferably with a business case for them to make additional effort to support you.

This is the problem. You have already spent your money, which as a customer is the only leverage you have.

Doing that after you have already paid will not do much good.

If you have specific requirements then you really need to choose products based on how well they fulfill them *before* you spend the money.
You would probably not buy a random car without checking what fuel its engine uses if you require one that runs on diesel, right? :)
