I'm curious how you can recomend an OS, like gNewSense that only runs on

    non-free hardware, that

    has required non-free software to be used in it's creation?


How do you do these things?  Perhaps I do them the same way.


The term "non-free hardware" is misleading, because the issues that

divide free software from non-free software do not apply to hardware.

There are no copiers for hardware and it has no source code.


As for Intels use of non-ree software, I am sorry for them, and I hope

that someday they will be able to move to free software.
