I asked the Ubuntu Edge team if Canonical was now committed to free firmware
for this 'crowdfunded' device after previous negative statements. In
response I received this:
Ubuntu Edge is an open device. Developers are able to tinker with the
software and use our standard flashing tools
Ubuntu Edge is an open device. Developers are able to tinker with the
software and use our standard flashing tools to upload their own
custom builds. Hopefully this answers your question. If not please
don’t hesitate to email again. Thanks again for your interest and
support.
Best regards,
I think that's corporate speak for 'no'.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for freedom related breakthroughs from
Ubuntu/Canonical. These are people who think proprietary software is OK and
that spying on their brainless users is OK.
Then I guess I can breathe again. Damn.
Agreed Lembas.
As if Unity was not bad enough, now they spy on us... xD
