I think that both being able to build the hardware "in a garage" and being able to outsource the production is critical. > Maybe we need a "Freedom in Hardware" foundation as a sister organization to the Free Software foundation. -- Ivie There is already lot of those: 1. http://fhf.it/ 2. https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2018/organizations/6276259533291520 3. https://foundationdevices.com/2020/12/leading-an-open-hardware-renaissance/ 4. etc.. etc.. But they are not very influencial and seems to all follow a road to failure for various political and suppression issues or being sabotaged by FSF, thus why i believe that to achieve hardware freedom it has to start with FSF.
