It's not just about terminology. It's about deliberately misinforming
the people to back your project because it's been libre hardware and
libre software "right from the beginning". And also misinforming
people
to think it's OK for their freedom to buy laptops with proprietary
BIOS
rather than with Libreboot.
Richard Stallman has just confirmed me that FSF has not received the
PCB
design sources along with the Libre Tea Computer Card.
I hope that now everyone understands that this EOMA68 board is *not*
libre hardware as claimed.
That doesn't make it "*not* libre hardware" as far as the FSF is
concerned. The FSF *DOES NOT* require the PCB designs for RYF. They are
not involved in or concerned with the release of schematics. The end
user can't do anything with schematics like they can with libre
software. This source code is what the FSF is concerned with.
What has to be released is the complete set of corresponding source
code. Everything else is extra and is being released out of our
goodwill. No promises have not been kept as the crowd funding page
clearly says the schematics will be released. As a gesture of goodwill
everything else already has been.
