Summary: Richard Stallman's suggestion for people who want to compromise on the issue of firmware
THE latest Debian GNU/Linux, like the previous version (6.x), comes without notorious firmware by default, which causes inconvenience to some, yours truly included. I discussed this with Stallman and here are his views on the matter. ⬆
Unless IBM issues a statement (admission) to the media or issues WARN notices (in the US), the lousy media will simply assume - however wrongly - that nothing is happening and there's nothing to report
Any day that passes without European media and European politicians doing anything about it merely discredits the media and the EU (or national governments)
