Interesting. We had a discussion about this on Trisquel[1] forum (althought also concerning newer technologies, 4g and 5g) and another issue raised was a patent one. Seeing I found someone knowledgeable, may I ask what are the remedies for patent threat? Wojtek [1] https://trisquel.info/en/forum/about-getting-free-software-4g-or-5g-chip
